Straight out of a feel-good movie script, a woman in Beaufort, South Carolina went from the low of losing her job to an unbelievable high – hitting a $300,000 jackpot in the lottery.
A regular South Carolinian woman was met with an unexpected bout of good fortune just days after losing her job. Never having won anything before, she opted to try her luck with a $10 lottery scratch-off ticket.
Imagine her astonishment when she realized she had just bagged a whopping $300,000! “I’m still in shock and extremely grateful,” she shared, still soaking in the new reality of her incredible luck.
The lucky ticket was purchased at a local store, The Old Pantry, by Beaufort locals on 1190 Ribaut Rd. Known for its charm and array of treats, the store has now become a beacon of hope signifying that fortune can indeed strike when least expected.
Selling the winning ticket also brought fortune to ‘The Old Pantry’ itself. The shop received a commission of $3,000. Now there’s a win-win situation for both the store and the lucky woman!
So, what happens when you land on a big windfall all of a sudden? For our fortunate friend, the opportunity has come as a chance to start afresh. She plans to invest the jackpot lottery money into purchasing a brand-new house. “It’s crazy how things worked out,” she said pensively.
For those feeling a twinge of envy, there’s still hope. According to South Carolina Education Lottery officials, there are three more top prizes of $300,000 waiting to be claimed. The odds of winning are 1 in 700,000 in the $300,000 Gold Rush game.
The tale of the lucky South Carolina woman serves as a reminder that lady luck can indeed visit anyone, anywhere. Even in our most challenging times.
