COLUMBIA, S.C. — A Midlands woman who decided to splurge and buy a second $10 scratch-off lottery ticket ended up winning big.

The woman informed the South Carolina Education Lottery officials that she visited J and S Food Mart #8 located at 5413 Forest Dr. with the intention of buying two $10 scratch-off tickets, but ended up purchasing just one. After scratching that ticket and finding it wasn’t a winner, she said she began to think about the ticket she didn’t buy.

“So I went back in and got it,” she said. “I scratched it and thought ‘Am I looking at this right?’ ”

The second $10 scratch-off won her $1 million. 

She told lottery officials that she couldn’t sleep but will be paying off her debt and saving the rest for a rainy day.

J and S Food Mart #8 received a $10,000 commission for selling the winning ticket.

Odds of winning $1 million in the Million Dollar Mania game are 1 in 1,530,000. Two more $1 million prizes remain in the game.
