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!
