COLUMBIA, SC (July 30, 2025) – An
Upstate woman could not believe her good fortune when she played the Lottery
and won $200,000.
“I was completely shocked,”
she told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.
She selected the winning
ticket, a $5 Ice Cold Bonus
scratch-off, at the Xpress Fuel on E.
Wade Hampton Blvd. in Greer.
When she scratched the ticket and saw the $200,000 top prize printed underneath, it just seemed too good to be true. She says she checked the ticket over and over again to be certain.
“I had to make sure I wasn’t seeing things,” she said.
And because of the win, soon she’ll be seeing a new house.
The odds of winning $200,000 in the Ice Cold Bonus game are 1 in 900,000. Three top prizes remain in the game.
For selling the claimed ticket, Xpress Fuel in Greer received a commission of $2,000.
