Lucky Pawleys Island Man Wins $300k Prize in South Carolina Scratch-off Game

A resident of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, recently found himself in possession of a remarkable $300,000 scratch-off prize, thanks to his winning ticket from the $10 Kings Ransom game.

The fortunate individual purchased the ticket at Pawleys Express, a store located along Ocean Highway in Pawleys Island. Accompanied by his mother, he made the journey to Columbia to officially claim the top prize in the South Carolina Education Lottery's game.

The winner's mother, sharing in the excitement, conveyed their elation to lottery officials and even mentioned that her son's joy was infectious enough to prompt him to share a tip with her. 

Remarkably, despite this big win, the $10 Kings Ransom game still holds the potential for two more top prizes of $300,000 each. Additionally, Pawleys Express, the store that sold the winning ticket, received a $3,000 commission for their part in this stroke of good fortune.
