COLUMBIA, SC (September 6, 2024) – Five years of buying $3 scratch-offs has paid off for an Aiken player with a $100,000 win.
“I told myself that one day I was going to win it,” she said.
And it happened one morning after she left McDonalds and stopped in at the Price Shell on Whiskey Rd. to get a $3 scratch-off. She took the crossword-style ticket home, and sitting on her porch scratched off the top prize win.
“I couldn’t believe it,” she told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
And she’s sticking to her routine, saying she will keep playing only $3 tickets.
One top prize of $100,000 remains in the $3 Lady Jumbo Bucks Crossword game at odds of 1 in 600,000.
For selling the claimed ticket, Price Shell in Aiken received a commission of $1,000.
