Feb. 7 (UPI) — A South Carolina woman made a trip to the store for groceries and brought home a lottery ticket worth $140,000.
The woman told South Carolina Education Lottery officials she went to Walmart in Taylors for groceries and decided to buy a Palmetto Cash 5 ticket from the Murphy USA Kiosk in front of the store.
The player checked her ticket later that night and discovered she had matched all five numbers, earning a $140,000 jackpot.
“It is wonderful,” she said.
The lucky shopper said her prize money is already being put to good use.
“I’m debt free,” the winner said.
