COLUMBIA, SC (January 31, 2025) – A Conway woman was having a rough day when she says she played the Lottery and won a $374,000 jackpot.
“You honestly don’t think these things are going to happen to you,” the happy winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
She purchased the winning Palmetto Cash 5 ticket, a quick pick, from the Shree 701 on Main St. in Conway. Initially she was going to another store to buy the ticket, but it was crowded, so she drove on down the road to the Shree 701.
The next day at work she checked her ticket and realized all of the numbers matched.
“I must have looked at it five times,” she said. “It was mind blowing.”
The winner is saving the prize for retirement.
For selling the claimed ticket, Shree 701 in Conway received a commission of $1,600.
The odds of winning a Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 850,668.
