COLUMBIA, SC (April 26, 2021) – Standing out at the gas pumps, an Anderson woman passed the time scratching a lottery ticket.

“I thought my eyes were blurry,” she said when she looked down and saw a $125,000 prize. So she showed the ticket to the lady next to her pumping gas.

It looked like a top prize winning ticket to her too.

The winner told lottery officials she got off work and stopped at the Spinx #256 at 3221 S. Murray Ave. in Anderson to fill up her car and decided to buy a $5 lottery ticket that filled up her wallet.

“I was hoping to win enough to go out to dinner,” she laughed. “But I took that ticket straight home.”

The Anderson player overcame odds of 1 in 660,000 to win $125,000 in the $5 Money Mayhem game. One top prize remains in the game.

Spinx #256 in Anderson received a commission of $1,250 for selling the claimed ticket.
