COLUMBIA, SC (January 27, 2023) The last Giant Jumbo Bucks scratch-off in the ticket display at the Palm Pantry #2 on Hampton Ave. in Aiken was a lucky one, winning a customer $250,000.

The winner called it the “best surprise of my life.”

She says she wasn’t feeling especially lucky when she paid $5 for the ticket, but that changed when she scratched off the six-figure payday standing in the store. 

“I’m not telling anyone,” she said.

The winner overcame odds of 1 in 960,000 to leave four top prizes of $250,000 remaining in the $5 Giant Jumbo Bucks game.

Palm Pantry #2 in Aiken received a commission of $2,500 for selling the claimed ticket.
