COLUMBIA, SC (April 26, 2024) – A North Charleston lottery player spent $3 on a scratch-off ticket and won $100,000.
“It was really exciting,” she told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
The winner waited a couple of days after buying the ticket at Carolina Spirits on Dorchester Rd. to scratch it. She says she only plays the $3 tickets, and it felt great to win the big payday that she’s spending on her family.
She is the second six-figure winner in North Charleston this month. Yesterday, the Lottery released the story of a player who won $200,000, a little over five miles away, at the Happy Liquor Store on Rivers Ave.
Six top prizes of $100,000 remain in the $3 Lady Jumbo Bucks Crossword game at odds of 1 in 600,000.
For selling the claimed ticket, Carolina Spirits in North Charleston received a commission of $1,000.
