He had to get out his glasses to confirm life-changing SC lottery win. ‘I was in a fog’
Sometimes, seeing is believing.
In the case of a Greenville, South Carolina, man, he had to reach for his glasses after scratching off his $10 lottery ticket.
The man told lottery officials that he “looked at the ticket many, many times” before he decided he needed a clearer view. He grabbed his glasses and a bright light to check the ticket one more time.
That’s when he saw the $300,000 prize.
“I was in a fog for a couple of days,” he told lottery officials.
He only believed he had won the top prize, beating the 1 in 900,000 odds, when he went to cash in the ticket.
His $300,000 lottery win was the last top prize in the Red Cherry Tripler game, according to lottery officials.
