Unforeseen windfall of $200,000 for an Upstate woman in Greenville, S.C
There’s an old saying that sometimes, less is more. And much to the delight of a particular woman in Greenville, South Carolina, this proved to be incredibly true. She was planning to buy a pair of lottery tickets – one Carolina Jackpot and one Clemson Jackpot. However, when she realized she only had enough change for one, she had to decide which one to get. “The choice was simple for me. “I’m a Carolina fan for life,” she said and decided on the $5 Carolina Jackpot.
Little did she know, a surprise was waiting for her!
After purchasing her ticket from the Walmart Market on Highway 14 in Simpsonville, the woman scratched off her ticket and was taken aback to find out that she had just won a jaw-dropping $200,000. Still in disbelief, she exclaimed, “I couldn’t believe it,” but the elation didn’t end there. After having won on the Carolina Jackpot, she claimed that the excitement of the win just deepened her love for Carolina, making the victory “even more sweet.”
A win-win situation for everybody!
But the fortune didn’t just stop with the lucky woman. For selling the winning ticket, the Walmart Market #3628 in Simpsonville, from where the ticket was purchased, received a decent commission of $2,000. The market, already buzzing with customers on a regular day, is sure to receive a boost of enthusiasm and increased footfall from hopeful lottery players.
What’s next for the lucky winner?
The lucky lady, now $200,000 richer, told officials she plans to use the money to pay off her house. But it doesn’t stop there. Demonstrating a heart as big as her recent winnings, the woman also shared her intention to help others with her newfound wealth. Just goes to show that sometimes, the one who takes a chance, no matter how small, may turn out to be the biggest winner of all!
Congratulations to the fortunate Carolina fan on her stunning luck with the Carolina Jackpot! Here’s to wishing her, and all future lottery participants, endless good luck and shining smiles, just as hers is sure to be shining right now!
