AIKEN, S.C. – A local lottery player in Aiken has experienced a life-changing moment after winning $100,000 from a $3 scratch-off ticket. This exciting win came after over five years of buying scratch-offs, showing that persistence can sometimes pay off in surprising ways.
The lucky winner purchased her ticket at the Price Shell convenience store on Whiskey Road after a visit to McDonald’s. “I told myself that one day I was going to win it,” the player shared, emphasizing her long-held belief in her chance to win big. The moment finally came when she scratched off her ticket at home, sitting on her porch and uncovering the top prize of the Lady Jumbo Bucks Crossword game.
Shocked and delighted, she remarked to South Carolina Education Lottery officials, “I couldn’t believe it.” Despite her newfound wealth, she stated that she plans to stick with her regular routine of playing only $3 scratch-off tickets. There is still one more top prize of $100,000 available in this specific game, with odds of winning set at 1 in 600,000.
In addition to the player’s big win, the Price Shell store where the ticket was purchased also benefited from the sale. The store received a commission of $1,000 for selling the winning ticket, highlighting how lottery sales can positively impact local businesses.
While this thrilling story unfolds in Aiken, the excitement doesn’t stop there. The current Mega Millions jackpot has soared to an estimated $740 million. Players are buzzing in anticipation of the upcoming drawing, with a cash option of $366.3 million available for those lucky enough to win.
The story of the Aiken lottery winner serves as a beacon of hope for many who play regularly without a win. As the lady continues her routine of playing scratch-offs, her winning ticket brings joy not just to her but also to those who witness her success. Local businesses, like Price Shell, also gain from the publicity, reminding everyone how intertwined their fortunes can be. The excitement over lottery wins and community resilience continues in Aiken and beyond.
