COLUMBIA, SC (January 25, 2022) – A Sumter lottery player admits winning $1 million has changed him.
“I feel different,” the millionaire said.
He’s relaxed and says his worries about retirement are gone.
Everything changed for him when he scratched a $1,000,000 Bonus Match ticket at the Four Way Food Mart on Pinewood Rd. in Sumter.
“Seeing “$1 MIL” on the ticket didn’t look real,” he told lottery officials.
He says the magnitude of the win didn’t hit him until after he cashed in the ticket.
“This will take care of me,” he said.
The Sumter winner overcame odds of 1 in 1,440,000 to win $1 million in the $1,000,000 Bonus Match game. One top prize remains in the game.
Four Way Food Mart in Sumter received a commission of $10,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
Players can enter their non-winning ($10) $1,000,000 Bonus Match tickets into a second-chance drawing for a chance to win $1 million. For complete details on the $1,000,000 Bonus Match Second-Chance Drawing, please visit sceducationlottery.com.
