COLUMBIA, SC (October 23, 2019) – On the one year anniversary of a $1.5 billion Mega Millions® jackpot winning ticket sold in Simpsonville, the South Carolina Education Lottery is returning to the Upstate.
The Lottery will be in Greenville today filming a new series of ads slated to air on television the first of next year.
Falls Park and Paris Mountain will serve as the backdrop for two lottery ads. Chernoff-Newman, a marketing firm, and Mad Monkey, a video production company, both based in Columbia are producing the ads. Two more supporting ads were filmed in Beaufort.
And while the South Carolina Education Lottery is keeping the storylines for the commercials under wraps for now, their debut in 2020 will mark the beginning of a yearlong, statewide, storytelling tour.
The South Carolina Education Lottery made news on this date last year, when a jackpot-winning Mega Millions® ticket worth $1.5 billion was sold at the KC Mart #7 on Lee Vaughn Rd. in Simpsonville. The winner, a South Carolinian, waited 132 days before coming forward to accept a $877 million cash payment. The KC Mart #7 received $50,000 for selling the claimed ticket and the state of SC received $61 million in taxes withheld from the prize money.
Friday night’s Mega Millions® jackpot is for an estimated $93 million.
Odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 303 million.
