COLUMBIA, SC (April 6, 2022) – One word describes an Aiken lottery player’s reaction to winning $300,000.

“WOW!” he exclaimed.

The winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials that he was taking a break when he remembered he bought a ticket for $10 at the V Mart on Dragstrip Rd. in Aiken. He got the ticket, scratched it and won big.

“I never thought it would happen to me,” he said of winning. “This is going to work out great.”

The winner overcame odds of 1 in 900,000 to leave three top prizes of $300,000 in the $300 Grand game.

V Mart in Aiken received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
