COLUMBIA, SC (March 7, 2014) – Sold out of the lottery ticket she was looking for, an Anderson woman took a chance on a different game and won $200,000.
It happened yesterday morning on her way into work. She stopped in at the Xpress Fuel on Hwy. 187 in Anderson for the popular Millionaire Madness game but found a better choice in Cash Spectacular.
