COLUMBIA, SC (July 14, 2021) – A first-time lottery player in Saint Matthews has won $300,000.

“I thought I might win $10,” the lucky lady said. “I was scratching the ticket and thinking there are too many zeros.”

The winner, who does not wish to be identified, scratched off the top prize win with her granddad by her side. He chose the $10 ticket for her, and when he saw the results advised her to take the ticket straight home.

“He picked out a good ticket,” she admitted.

The granddaughter plans to help her family with the winnings.

The Saint Matthews player overcame odds of 1 in 780,000 to leave one top prize of $300,000 remaining in the $10 Money Maker game.

Quick Pantry Liquor in Saint Matthews received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
