COLUMBIA, SC (September 1, 2023) – A Midlands man’s spur of the moment decision to play the Lottery ended up winning him $375,000.
“I wasn’t going in the store for a ticket,” he told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “But it was incredible.”
Luck struck at the Hutto Food Mart at 1182 Good Farm Rd. in Holly Hill where he picked out a $10 scratch-off. He admits the win took him by surprise. And he’s already paid off his house.
“I’ve accomplished what I needed to,” he said.
The winner overcame odds of 1 in 960,000 to win $375,000 playing the $10 Mighty Jumbo Bucks game. Six more top prizes remain in the game.
Hutto Food Mart in Holly Hill received a commission of $3,750 for selling the claimed ticket.
