Two lottery players in Greenwood, South Carolina, have recently struck it rich, with one winning $100,000 and the other $200,000 through separate scratch-off ticket games. These wins have highlighted the excitement surrounding lottery games in the area and have surprised the winners themselves.
The first winner, a Greenwood resident, purchased their winning scratch-off ticket at the Quick Pantry #16 on Calhoun Avenue. The ticket, part of the Lady Jumbo Bucks Crossword game, was a $3 scratch-off. The player uncovered a total of 11 words, earning them the game’s top prize of $100,000. Despite having initially felt “not lucky” while buying the tickets, this unexpected win has significantly impacted the player’s life, who reported feeling a mix of excitement and calm as they contemplate their newfound fortune. The chances of winning the grand prize in the Lady Jumbo Bucks Crossword game are estimated at 1 in 600,000, adding to the significance of this achievement. As of this win, four top prizes remain available in the game.
In another remarkable turn of events, an unidentified woman also claimed a substantial prize of $200,000 from a Lucky 7 scratch-off ticket purchased at Lil Cricket on Ninety-Six Highway. Her success came as a complete surprise, and she has indicated plans to use her winnings to purchase a new home. The odds of winning the $200,000 grand prize in the Lucky 7 game are reported to be 720,000-to-1, making her win particularly noteworthy. The location where the ticket was sold will benefit as well, having received a $2,000 commission for selling the winning ticket.
South Carolina’s lottery system allows winners to remain anonymous unless they choose to disclose their identities. This privacy option means that the woman is not required to reveal her name or personal details surrounding her substantial win.
The remarkable outcomes from these lottery wins have drawn attention to the various scratch-off games offered in the state. With the concluding claim of the last of the four grand prize tickets in the Lucky 7 game, players are reminded of the possibility of substantial winnings, even against long odds.
As excitement grows around these lottery wins, it’s also essential for individuals to remain aware of gambling responsibly. For people who may be struggling with gambling addiction, resources are available through the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or on the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
