South Carolina man thought $1M lotto win was a prank

A man from Columbia, South Carolina, was incredulous when he was informed that he had won $1 million by the South Carolina Education Lottery. Initially, he thought it was a prank, but after confirming the news with his wife, they were still in disbelief until they visited the Lottery’s Claims Center and received the full amount. The man had participated in the Royal Millions Second-Chance Promotion, where players could submit both winning and losing scratch-offs for a chance to win the grand prize. When collecting his winnings, he expressed his disbelief at the amount, stating it was more money than he had ever seen before. Meanwhile, a 60-year-old man from Michigan recently won $6 million from a scratch-off ticket after playing the lottery for over 40 years. He mentioned that he planned to use the money for savings and a well-deserved vacation.
