COLUMBIA, SC (August 11, 2021) – A Tega Cay lottery player is keeping a secret, one she’ll tell her kids one day.

She scratched off a $300,000 prize, money she’s putting towards her children’s college education.

“Only my husband knows,” the winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.

And her secret is safe.

“I normally don’t play,” she said. “And look what happened when I did.”

The Tega Cay player overcame odds of 1 in 900,000 to leave three top prizes of $300,000 remaining in the $10 Golden 10s game.

Kangaroo Express #3987 in Tega Cay received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
