COLUMBIA, SC (October 16, 2020) – The sight of a $150,000 winning lottery ticket took an Upstate woman’s breath away.
She won the top prize playing the $5 Junior Jumbo Bucks instant ticket game from the South Carolina Education Lottery. The winning ticket was purchased from the Store 101 on E. Butler Rd. in Mauldin.
“At first I thought, ‘What? No.’” she said, describing the moment she scratched off the six-figure payday at home with her family. “This has to be a misprint.”
The winner, who did not wish to be identified, spoke with lottery officials several days after cashing in the ticket. She says she still can’t believe she won, but she is grateful for the opportunity to buy a new home for her family.
Three top prizes of $150,000 remains in the Giant Jumbo Bucks game at odds of 1 in 600,000.
Store 101 in Mauldin received a commission of $1,500 for selling the claimed ticket.
