South Carolina Lottery

A South Carolina woman won $1 million from the S.C. Education Lottery's $100 Million Cash Bonanza instant-ticket game.

The woman, who requested to remain anonymous, won the money from a $10 ticket. The winning ticket was sold by Radley Slavinski at Rodger's Country Store in Kingstree.

Retailers who sell winning tickets redeemed for more than $50,000 receive a 1 percent selling bonus, with a cap of $50,000. Slavinski will get a check for $10,000.

"I didn't know it was that much," Slavinski said. "We're bigger winners than I thought."

The $100 Million Cash Bonanza game began July 26. More than $100.4 million in prizes remain, including four top prizes of $1 million.

Was the $1 million lump sum? NY needs such a scratch game.

If they modeled it after the same game in GA it is a 20 year annuity.
