Midlands Couple Plans Dream Getaways After $200K Lottery Win

A lucky Midlands couple is packing their bags after scoring a fantastic $200,000 win playing the lottery.

The husband purchased a $5 Big Wins Extra Play! instant ticket from Sharpe Shoppe #1 on Blythewood Road in Blythewood. His gamble paid off — and according to lottery officials, his wife has officially stopped “fussing” about his hobby.

“It feels amazing to win,” the wife shared with the South Carolina Education Lottery team.

With their newfound prize, the couple plans to make their travel dreams come true and enjoy a few well-deserved vacations.

Winning wasn’t easy. The odds of claiming the $200,000 top prize in Big Wins Extra Play! are just 1 in 780,000.

For those still hoping for a big break, lottery officials confirmed that two top prizes remain in the game.
