COLUMBIA, SC (October 22, 2026) – A Conway couple took turns scratching a $2 ticket that won them $50,000.

The wife picked out the Jumbo Bucks ticket after filling up her car at the Sunhouse location on Hwy. 905 in Conway. She scratched the ticket first. She uncovered just the barcode, scanning it with her phone and the message said to contact the lottery.

“Then I handed the ticket to my husband,” she told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.

He scratched the rest of the ticket and started screaming and jumping up and down.

“I was amazed,” the wife said, when she saw the result on the ticket for herself. “My husband said we both got a part of it.”

The couple plans to use the winnings to take a vacation.

The odds of winning $50,000 playing Jumbo Bucks are 1 in 600,000. Seven more top prizes remain in the game.

Sunhouse #27 in Conway received a commission of $500 for selling the claimed ticket.
