Upstate Woman Leaves Work Early with $2 MILLION Payday

COLUMBIA, SC (October 13, 2021) – The Lottery’s latest millionaire is from Piedmont.

The winner was at work when the South Carolina Education Lottery called with the news that she’d won $2 MILLION in the $2,000,000 Colossal Cash Second-Chance Promotion.

“Is this real?” she asked.

Yes. A non-winning ticket she’d entered was selected from the more than 894,000 entries received to win the grand prize in the drawing on Wednesday, October 6.

“I had to leave work,” she confessed. “I was shaking and could barely talk.”

She says her husband was in a state of disbelief too. He wasn’t convinced they’d won until after she was handed the check at the Lottery’s Claims Center in Columbia.

The millionaire, who does not wish to be identified, plans to keep working and start house hunting.

The Lottery’s next second-chance drawing to award a Polaris Slingshot and Polaris RZR is planned for December 7. For more information on the Lottery’s second-chance promotions visit sceducationlottery.com.
