South Carolina Man Snags $200K Scratch-Off Surprise
A South Carolina man says he’s still trying to wrap his head around the moment he realized his $5 scratch-off was worth a jaw-dropping $200,000.
He’d always hoped to hit something big — just never thought it would actually happen. But once it clicked, the excitement took over fast.
Highlights of his big moment:
-
He rushed out of the Mike & Jack store on Augusta Road in Pelzer to show family and friends.
-
He says this win is especially meaningful because, “I hit the Lottery with my children, and this will let me help them in life.”
-
He’s also giving a portion of his winnings to a local church.
The Neon Jackpot game still has two more $200,000 top prizes floating out there, with long-shot odds of 1 in 930,000 — but clearly, someone’s gotta win.
And for selling the lucky ticket, Mike & Jack #2 in Pelzer earned a $2,000 commission.
