Greenville Man Wins $1M After Buying Lottery Ticket on Lunch Break

A Greenville man beat the odds to win the top prize in the $1,000,000 Money Maker scratch-off lottery game. The winning ticket worth $1 million was purchased at Stop-A-Minit on Pelham Road.

Unlikely Purchase Leads to Life-changing Win

The lucky winner, who chose to remain anonymous, shared that he had gone on his lunch break to buy Powerball tickets. However, he realized he had forgotten his play slips and made a quick trip back to the store to retrieve them. It was during this second visit that he decided to purchase a couple of scratch-off tickets on a whim.

“I won $20 and $1 million on them,” he said. “I was in shock. If the clerk had given me my slips, I wouldn’t have had a reason to go back.”

It was a spur-of-the-moment decision that changed his life forever, turning what could have been a routine errand into a life-changing moment.

Plans for the Winnings

Upon realizing his incredible stroke of luck, the winner mentioned that he plans to save the money for retirement. The $1 million windfall will undoubtedly provide financial security and peace of mind for the future.

Reward for the Retailer

Stop-A-Minit #15, the store where the winning ticket was sold, received a $10,000 commission for selling the ticket. The retailer’s contribution in facilitating the purchase of the winning ticket was duly rewarded, adding another positive outcome to this remarkable story.
