Another lucky woman from SC wins $200,000 in scratch off lottery game

A Midlands woman was taking her dog to the vet and had some time to kill, so she stopped at a grocery store to buy a lottery ticket, South Carolina Education Lottery officials said Thursday in a news release.

When the woman discovered that she had won the Monopoly scratch-off game’s $200,000 grand prize it seemed like she might need medical attention, according to the release.

“I almost passed out,” she said in the release. While the woman said she was stunned as she left the Food Lion on N. Guignard Drive in Sumter, she was able to make it to veterinarian’s office, according to the release.

Then she headed to downtown Columbia to cash in her jackpot at the Lottery Claims Center, officials said. “This is the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time,” the woman said.

She purchased the Monopoly lottery game for $5 at the Food Lion, according to the release.
