South Carolina Couple Wins $500K on Lunch Date Lottery Stop


A South Carolina couple turned a lunch date into a $500,000 lottery windfall. The couple won the prize from a Cash Money scratch-off ticket.

The couple bought the winning ticket at QuikTrip #1113 on W. Wade Hampton Blvd in Greer, South Carolina. They initially considered buying a Palmetto Cash 5 ticket before changing their minds. The QuikTrip store received a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The odds of winning the top prize with a Cash Money ticket are 1 in 1,560,000. The game is still running, with two more top prizes waiting to be scooped up by another lucky couple across the state.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
