“I’m still in shock and extremely grateful. I’ve never won anything before," the anonymous woman said.
She had purchased a $10 lottery scratch-off, which has now given her a fresh start and the ability to buy a new house.
“It’s crazy how things worked out,” the winner added on August 1.
Meanwhile, a man who played the lottery at the Hot Spot convenience store in Easley is $200,000 richer.
“That was exciting,” he told officials on August 1.
“Now I’m just working and saving my money."
The man - who wasn't named - said he had been feeling lucky, so picked the $5 ticket at random in the store.
SCEL raises funds for education programs, and has also paid $168 million in commissions to retailers who have sold winning tickets over the past 22 years.
