COLUMBIA, S.C. — A Rock Hill couple was at a loss for words when they went to Columbia to claim a prize on their Lady Jumbo Bucks Crossword instant ticket and were told they won $100,000.
“I wasn’t even sure what I had won,” said the wife, who purchased the ticket. “It’s amazing, a Christmas miracle.”
The couple has three children, one of whom is attending University with the assistance of a LIFE Scholarship, a financial aid program supported with lottery-funding.
“This is going to change our children’s’ lives,” the winner expressed while trying to find her words. “It will change their stars.”
“It couldn’t happen to a better person,” the husband said. “I might even get a new pair of shoes for myself,” he said smiling.
For selling the claimed ticket MR Express LLC in Rock Hill received a commission of $1,000.
