ST. STEPHEN, S.C. – It might seem impossible, but a St. Stephen’s woman has won $1 million off a non-winning lottery ticket.
It happened when a non-winning scratch-off she’d entered into the Lottery’s $1,000,000 Bonus Match Second-Chance Promotion was selected from the more than 800,000 entries received to win the $1 million grand prize.
She was at work when the Lottery called to tell her, and the news took her by surprise.
Months earlier she entered around 20 tickets into the drawing that was held on June 1.
“I’d forgotten all about it,” she admitted to lottery officials. “I screamed and started crying when I found out I won.”
She went home from work that day a millionaire. Today, she is looking for a new house.
“I never imagined in a million years that I would win $1 million,” she said. “It’s changed my life.”
