COLUMBIA, SC (December 7, 2023) – While her husband was watching a football game on television, an Upstate woman played the Lottery and scored a $200,000 win.
She interrupted her husband to show him the ticket. “Is this right?” she asked. He looked at her Winter Green scratch-off and simply said, “Yeah!”
Her $5 ticket is one of the Lottery’s holiday-themed scratch-offs. The wife picked it out at the Shell station at 1910 E. Greenville St. in Anderson on her way home from work. The couple says the winnings are a gift that will go toward retirement.
“When I first looked at the ticket, I thought to myself, ‘This isn’t right?’ I’m still in shock,” the wife said.
For selling the claimed ticket, SarojPatel LLC in Anderson received a commission of $2,000.
Two more top prizes of $200,000 remain in the Winter Green game at odds of 1 in 660,000.
