COLUMBIA, SC (April 8, 2021) – While his dogs were playing outside, an Anderson man played a $2 lottery ticket and won $30,000.

“It was exciting,” the winner told lottery officials.

His dogs didn’t seem interested in celebrating his winning 5X The Money ticket, so he called his friends.

“They thought I was lying,” he said.

Once he convinced them that the ticket he bought at the Stop-A-Minit #11 on N. Main St. in Anderson was a winner, his friends were happy for him and his plans.

“I’m going to invest in my work,” he said.

Three top prizes of $30,000 remain in the 5X The Money instant ticket game at odds of 1 in 432,000.

Stop-A-Minit #11 in Anderson received a commission of $300 for selling the claimed ticket.
