Lottery winner defied odds of 1 in 750,000 to scoop $200,000 jackpot – before giving all her winnings away
A SOUTH Carolina woman defied the odds of one in 750,000 when she won a huge $200,000 jackpot.
The Orangeburg resident, however, has pledged to give all her earnings away.
That’s right: the winner has said she will hand out her entire winnings to her family members.
“I don’t want anything for me,” the unidentified woman reportedly told lottery officials.
Instead, she has decided that her relatives will benefit from the money more than she would, and she will keep none of it.
The winning ticket was a $5 Triple Red 777s ticket, purchased at a convenience store on Cannon Bridge Road, New19 reported.
