COLUMBIA, SC (April 9, 2024) – A Midlands lottery player says he was in the right place at the right time when he won $500,000 on a scratch-off.
The right place was the Shiv Food Mart on Farrow Rd. in Columbia. The lucky ticket was a 100X The Cash scratch-off that he bought for $10 at the store. He says he was so thankful when he scratched the ticket and realized he won a half-a-million dollar prize.
“It was amazing,” he told lottery officials after cashing in the winning ticket. “My lifestyle has stepped up.”
The win leaves two top prizes of $500,000 in 100X The Cash game at odds of 1 in 960,000.
