COLUMBIA, SC (October 31, 2025) – An Upstate household is divided. The wife is a Clemson fan. The husband pulls for the Gamecocks. When they each bought their team’s scratch-off ticket, it was the Tiger fan who earned bragging rights worth $200,000.

The wife says her “heart just stopped” when she realized her $5 Clemson Jackpot ticket was a six-figure winner. As for her husband’s reaction, “he was just as shocked,” she said.

The couple bought their Clemson Jackpot and Carolina Jackpot scratch-offs at the Scotchman #3804 on Fernwood Glendale Rd. in Spartanburg.

This makes the second top prize win on a Clemson Jackpot ticket in Spartanburg County. In August, a woman’s ticket from the Food Lion on Hwy. 221 in Roebuck also won $200,000.

One more top prize of $200,000 remains in the Clemson Jackpot game at odds of 1 in 520,000. 

For selling the claimed ticket, Scotchman #3804 in Spartanburg received a commission of $2,000.

And there’s more for fans to appreciate. Clemson Jackpot and Carolina Jackpot scratch-offs can be entered online for a chance to win up to $100,000 in cash at a home basketball game this season. Learn more at sceducationlottery.com.
