COLUMBIA, SC (September 4, 2026) – A Chester lottery player has won $10,000 on a $1 ticket.
“I was more than happy,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “I was also stunned.”
On her day off, she dropped by the Chester Express on Pinckney St. in Chester to buy a $3 lottery ticket. On a whim, she tried the $1 Junior Jumbo Bucks card that won her $10,000.
It was the second $10,000 win on a $1 Junior Jumbo Bucks scratch-off at the Chester Express. The previous top prize was won in 2020.
“I guess lightning struck twice,” she said.
Four more top prizes of $10,000 remain in the Junor Jumbo Bucks game at odds of 1 in 548,571.43.
Chester Express in Chester received a commission of $100 for selling the claimed ticket.
