COLUMBIA, SC (December 14, 2022) – When an Anderson man spotted his dad’s car at a local convenience store and stopped in to say hi, he didn’t know he was in for a surprise too. At the MD Food Mart on Concord Rd. in Anderson, the son bought a lottery ticket and won $200,000.
“I was speechless,” the son said. “I got my dad’s attention to come and see.”
Dad’s reaction: “His eyes got big and his jaw dropped,” said the winner.
The South Carolina Education Lottery caught up with the son a few weeks after cashing in the top prize win on a $5 scratch-off. The winner says he’s already made his first big purchase—a new car.
The Anderson man’s win leaves three top prize remaining in the Lady Luck game at odds of 1 in 750,000.
MD Food Mart in Anderson received a commission of $2,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
