A quick soda run turned into an unforgettable moment for one lucky woman in Liberty, South Carolina — and it all started with just $20 in scratch-off tickets.
While stopping at Stop-A-Minit #12, the Upstate woman decided to grab four $5 scratch-offs from the South Carolina Education Lottery. What happened next felt almost unreal.
Here’s how her streak of luck played out:
-
🎟️ Ticket #1: Won her money back
-
🎟️ Ticket #2: Another break-even win
-
🎟️ Ticket #3: A small $5 prize
-
💰 Ticket #4: A massive $200,000 jackpot
Yes—every single ticket was a winner, but the last one delivered the life-changing surprise.
“I still haven’t wrapped my brain around it,” the winner told lottery officials. “When it finally sinks in, I can let you know how it feels.”
The winning ticket came from the Neon Jackpot scratch-off game, where the odds of landing the $200,000 top prize are about 1 in 930,000. Surprisingly, one more top prize is still waiting to be claimed in the game.
What happens next?

Meanwhile, the store that sold the ticket also celebrated a nice bonus. For selling the winning scratch-off, Stop-A-Minit #12 received a $2,000 commission from the lottery.
Not bad for a quick stop for a soda in March — a small purchase that turned into a six-figure surprise.
