***PRESS RELEASE***
A grandmother’s dream of having a backyard for her
grandchildren to play in becomes a possibility after winning $200,000 on
$200,000 Cash Inferno.
The Columbia woman, who wished remain anonymous,
had a lucky streak last week after winning $500 on a $200,000 Cash Inferno
ticket and $290 on Pick 3 playing her daughter’s birthday numbers.
Then, after cashing in a ticket, she decided to
purchase another $200,000 Cash
Inferno
ticket for $10 from the St. Andrews BP located at 775 St. Andrews Road in
Columbia. After scratching the ticket,
the
player couldn’t believe what she was looking at.
“I handed
the clerk
my ticket for him to scan because I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me,”
the
player said. “My heart was fluttering and the tears wouldn’t stop after
seeing all those numbers.”
The
player plans on buying a house with her winnings. “I’ve always wanted a
backyard for my grandchildren to play in,” said the winner who has a very large
family with two daughters (one of which is attending technical college with the
help of Lottery Tuition Assistance), a married son, and four grandchildren.
The $200,000 Cash Inferno
ticket launched on Tuesday, July 12. As of this release, four top prizes remain
in the game. The odds of winning the $200,000 top prize are 1 in 504,000.
Since the start of the Lottery in 2002, more than 920,000 college
scholarships and grants have been awarded to South Carolina’s students. In all,
more than $2.5 BILLION has been appropriated to support educational programs in
the Palmetto State.
