COLUMBIA, SC (June 6, 2022) – On his way to work, an Upstate man played the Lottery and got paid $300,000.
“It was awesome,” he said of the win.
He stopped at the VIMLA Inc. convenience store at 1791 Asheville Hwy. in Spartanburg to get something to drink and a lottery ticket. He says he scratched the ticket in his car in the store’s parking lot and couldn’t believe the result. He took the ticket back inside the store, and the clerk confirmed his six-figure win.
Then he went to work.
“I still went to work that day and the next day too,” he laughed. “It’s not enough to retire.”
But he admits the prize money has gotten him closer to that day.
The winner overcame odds of 1 in 900,000 to leave five top prizes of $300,000 remaining in the Money Bag Bonus ticket.
VIMLA Inc. in Spartanburg received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
