COLUMBIA, SC (January 29, 2020) – At 4 in the morning a Florence woman became a millionaire.
She fell asleep on the couch watching a movie and when she woke up remembered she’d bought a lottery ticket, scratched it and won $1 million.
“I woke up the whole house,” she told South Carolina Education Lottery officials. “I was screaming.”
And she’s taking her prize money house hunting.
“I’ve already started looking,” she said.
The Florence woman overcame odds of 1 in 1.72 million to win the last top prize in the $10 Millionaire Series game.
Convenience Corner #1 in Florence received a commission of $10,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
Players can enter their non-winning Millionaire Series tickets into a second-chance drawing for a chance to win an additional $1 million prize. For complete details on the Millionaire Series Second-Chance Drawing, please visit sclottery.com.
To date, the South Carolina Education Lottery has created 193 millionaires.
