Watch: Woman wins $250K on scratch-off at South Carolina gas station

Her odds of winning were 1 in 960,000

FORT MILL, S.C. (WBTV) - Surveillance video caught the exciting moment when a woman realized she won $250,000 on a lottery ticket at a gas station in York County.

On the evening of Thursday, Jan. 2, a woman played a Giant Jumbo Bucks scratch-off lottery ticket at the RunX gas station off of SC-160 at Gold Hill Road. A video camera from inside the store captured the woman’s excitement as she realized her ticket was a winner.

The woman could be seen jumping and cheering, and excitedly hugging a store employee several times. Her odds of winning the $250,000 prize were one in 960,000, officials said.

Watch the sweet moment in the video player up above.

Officials confirmed to WBTV that the woman successfully cashed in her ticket on Friday.

The store will also reportedly receive a $2,500 commission for selling the ticket.

It wasn’t immediately known whether this was the store’s largest lottery win. Officials did say the store sold a $1,000 winning scratch-off ticket in December.

If I had been in that situation, I would have stayed quiet. It is amazing how many people are suddenly your friends if you come into money.
