‘The Price is Right' for winner of South Carolina lottery game's grand prize
When a fan of “The Price is Right” saw that the South Carolina Education Lottery named a scratch-off ticket after the game show, he bought two tickets, officials said Thursday in a news release. The numbers he revealed on one scratch-off ticket were definitely right, as the man won the game’s $200,000 grand prize , according to the release. The six-figure winning game was sold for $5 at the K D store on South Palmer Street in the Ridgeway area of Fairfield County, officials said. The man didn’t say how he plans to spend his newfound windfall, but told officials “life has changed a little bit.” The winner will be allowed to retain some privacy, as South Carolina is one of 11 states — along with Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas and Virginia — that allow lottery winners to remain anonymous . It was one of “ The Price is Right ” lottery game’s four grand prize winning tickets, officials said. Two more game tickets carrying the grand prize are still unclaimed. The winner overcame 810,000-to-1 odds to capture the game’s jackpot, according to the release. The K D store received a $2,000 commission
