A fortunate Whiskey road guy wins $2 million in a lottery game

Luck struck in Aiken, again. For the second time this year, a South Carolina Education Lottery player has won $2 million at an Aiken convenience store.

Less than four miles separate the two Circle K locations where millionaires were made. The recent $2 million winning ticket was sold at the Circle K at 2948 Whiskey Road.

The first one was bought in January at the Circle K at 1014 E. Pine Log Road. Both $2 million prizes were won off of the Lottery’s $20 Millionaire’s Club scratch-off.

The odds of that happening are 1 in 1,260,000. “I wasn’t expecting it,” the first millionaire told lottery officials after cashing in his big win. “I still don’t feel like a millionaire.”

The other winner feels the same way. “I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I only bought one ticket.” Two more top prizes of $2 million remain in the Millionaire’s Club game.

For selling the claimed tickets, both Circle K Stores received a commission of $20,000.
