COLUMBIA, SC (May 8, 2025) – An Upstate man says his $100,000 lottery win was a long time coming.
“I’ve been playing for 25 years and never really won much,” he told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
But all that changed on a $3 crossword-style scratch-off he bought at the Power Trac #12 on Wren School Rd. in Piedmont.
“I was scratching it, and it keeps getting better and better,” he described.
In total, he uncovered 11 words on the ticket to take the top prize win.
“It was pretty fun,” he added.
The odds of winning $100,000 playing the $3 Lady Jumbo Bucks Crossword game are 1 in 600,000. This game is no longer available.
For selling the claimed ticket, Power Trac #12 in Piedmont received a commission of $1,000.
