COLUMBIA, SC (October 14, 2022) – A Midlands man won $30,000 playing the South Carolina Education Lottery and celebrated with some new kicks.
“I refreshed the wardrobe,” he said.
He won the prize on a $2 scratch-off that he bought while doing his weekly grocery shopping at the Publix on Old Cherokee Rd. in Lexington. The winner told lottery officials that he got out of the checkout line to buy the scratch-off along with a Powerball® and Mega Millions® ticket. A couple of days later, he checked all the tickets at once. The scratch-off was the only winner.
It wasn’t until he cashed in the Win It All ticket at the Lottery’s Claims Center that he allowed himself to believe it was real.
“I treated myself,” he said of his first purchase.
The win leaves one top prize of $30,000 remaining in the Win It All game at odds of 1 in 600,000.
Publix Super Markets #512 in Lexington received a commission of $300 for selling the claimed ticket.
