COLUMBIA, SC (August 17, 2023) – On the night of Friday, July 14, a Midlands man stayed up late to catch the Mega Millions® drawing live on television. He wrote down the winning numbers as they were called out, checked his ticket and went to bed a millionaire.
His ticket, a quick pick, won him $2 million. He purchased it from the Gaz-Bah #14 at 951 Chestnut St. in Orangeburg and matched all but one number drawn (10, 24, 48, 51, 66 and MB: 15).
The winner, who does not wish to be identified, says he stayed calm and is not letting the big win change him any.
The odds of winning $2 million playing Mega Millions® are 1 in 12,607,306.
For selling the claimed ticket, Gaz-Bah #14 in Orangeburg received a commission of $20,000.
