Woman stranded roadside lottery.
In an unexpected twist of events today in Florence County, a local resident had a winning lottery ticket worth $300,000. The fortuitous lottery player left the local Scranton gas station, the Little Fisher Truck Stop, in a hurry, forgetting to fill up her car after landing the lottery jackpot.
The jubilant woman had stopped by the local convenience store of the gas station intending merely to fill up her car and play the lottery, not anticipating the luck that awaited her. Her casual lottery ticket turned out to be a $300,000 win in the Wild Cash Multiplier Extra Play game. Wild Cash Multiplier Extra Play is a popular lottery game in Florence County with a winning probability of 1 in 740,000.
Upon realizing her win, the lottery player quickly hailed over a gas station clerk to inspect her ticket. The clerk was straightforward with his advice, “Get in your car and drive out of this parking lot.” The excited woman proceeded to do just that, completely forgetful of her initial purpose of visiting the gas station.
During a later conversation with South Carolina Education Lottery officials, the woman recalled her experience saying, “I was completely numb, confused and relieved. I drove off and forgot to pump the gas that I had paid for.”
Officials have notified the public that three more $300,000 prizes in the Wild Cash Multiplier Extra Play game await daring players. Meanwhile, the Little Fisher Truck Stop has earned a $3,000 commission for selling the $300,000 winning ticket.
This recent win sets a perfect example of how an ordinary day can turn extraordinary with a dose of luck and a lottery ticket. Next time you stop by your local gas station, you might want to play the lottery. Who knows? You could be the next to rush out of the parking lot in sheer joy, hopefully with a tank full of gas.
