COLUMBIA, SC (December 3, 2020) – Winning $250,000 playing the South Carolina Education Lottery gave a Cottageville woman a stomach ache.

She was alone at work when she scratched the CA$HTASTIC ticket she purchased from the Fast Break on Boone Hill Rd. in Summerville. Seeing a quarter-of-a-million dollar payday made her stomach hurt. She reached for the phone and called her husband with the news. He got quiet and asked her to send him a picture of the ticket.

Even now, a week after claiming their prize, the couple says winning feels like a dream.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet,” the wife said. “It’s amazing.”

The Cottageville winners overcame odds of 1 in 675,000 to win $250,000 in the $10 CA$HTASTIC game. Six top prizes remain in the game.

Fast Break in Summerville received a commission of $2,500 for selling the claimed ticket.
