South Carolina Woman Wins Lottery following Recent Job Loss

Change in Fortunes

The lucky woman made the winning purchase from a store frequented by locals, known as The Old Pantry. She took a chance on a $10 scratch-off lottery ticket from that store located on 1190 Ribaut Rd. This unexpectedly fortunate moment has provided her with an opportunity for a fresh start amidst the financial uncertainty stemming from her job loss. The delighted winner announced plans to purchase a new house with her winnings.

A Remaining Opportunity

A Win for the Retailer

The Old Pantry, where the winning ticket was sold under P A A of Beaufort LLC, also reaped benefits from the winning transaction. The store received a generous commission of $3,000 for selling the lucky ticket.

A Trim Pipeline of Joy!

One woman’s sudden job loss turned into an unexpected flow of happiness, not just for her but also for Beaufort’s local business.
