COLUMBIA, SC (January 7, 2022) – Stopping for a cup of coffee paid off for a Rock Hill man. Along with the coffee, he bought a lottery ticket that won him $300,000.
“Winning was pretty cool,” he said.
The winner told South Carolina Education Lottery officials that he got coffee and THE BIG $PIN ticket at the Gee Gees Food Store on Saluda St. in Rock Hill. In a hurry, he scratched off the barcode on the ticket and scanned it using the in store ticket checker. When the message read “Claim at Lottery,” he scratched the entire card to reveal the $300,000 prize.
“It was a blessing,” he said.
The winner overcame odds of 1 in 1,080,000 to win $300,000 in the $10 THE BIG $PIN game. Three more top prizes remain.
Gee Gees Food Store in Rock Hill received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
