COLUMBIA, SC (November 7, 2024) – Lottery tickets have been golden for shoppers at a convenience store on Gold Hill Rd. in Fort Mill. After selling a ticket worth $2 million in August, shoppers at the QuikTrip have gone on to win a $10,000 and a $1,000 prize.
The store’s $2 million winner picked up a Mega Millions® ticket for a chance at a then $575 million jackpot on August 27. That ticket missed the jackpot by one number, but the millionaire isn’t disappointed, having overcame odds of about 1 in 12 million to win.
When the clerks at the QuikTrip found out they sold that life changing ticket, they said “that’s cool.”
Daquon Suares, who has been managing the location for a couple of months now, wasn’t there when that first big ticket was sold but is excited about the scratch-off wins that followed.
In October, a $10,000 prize was won on a $10 scratch-off called $2,000,000 Millionaire and a $1,000 prize was won a Grand Stacks ticket that cost $5.
“Scratch-offs and draw tickets, we sell a lot of them all,” said Suares, who hopes more wins are to come.
For selling the claimed tickets, QuikTrip #1075 in Fort Mill received a commission of $20,000 and $1,000.
