GOOSE CREEK, S.C. – Denise Henderson scratched off an instant ticket and couldn’t go back to sleep after finding out she won $250,000.
“I showed it to my daughter, but she didn’t believe me and went back to bed,” she told lottery officials.
Denise waited till 6 a.m. that same morning to check her ticket at the retailer she purchased it from and confirmed her win. Then she drove directly to the lottery claims center to redeem her prize.
“I’m still in shock,” Denise said. “It won’t be real till I get the check.”
Denise said the store clerk recommended to her the $10 Bonus Bonanza ticket. She purchased four of the tickets and the third one was the winner.
Five top prizes of $250,000 remain in the Bonus Bonanza game, at odds of 1 in 675,000.
For selling the claimed ticket, Publix Super Markets #459 in Goose Creek received a commission of $2,500.
