A South Carolina man has no doubt what his lottery winnings will go to — or rather, who.
“I want to help mom,” he told lottery officials after winning $100,000. “She’s making a list.”
The Lowcountry man, who was not identified by lottery officials, said his intuition told him to buy a Palmetto Cash 5 lottery ticket at the Lowes Foods in Hanahan in Berkeley County, just outside Charleston.
He bought a ticket for the June 26 drawing and once he scanned it, told lottery officials his heart started to race.
The message told him to claim his prize at a lottery office, which he knew meant it was over $500, lottery officials said.
The Lowes Foods that sold the ticket got a commission of $1,000, according to lottery officials.
