she is not giving it away. just saying that to deflect attention from those who will try to pry it away from her.

not sure what it means. thought pay it forward was something you do at the toll plaza or drive-thru for the anonymous person behind you. so is she going to just throw it all out there to her church or community and let them distribute it. somehow doubt that is going to happen with all of it. a portion perhaps, but all of it. ludicrous. if you are going to give it all away at least have the satisfaction of knowing exactly where it is going.

It will keep people from hounding her for money. She already said--I'm giving it away.

There are people who play for fun--I'm not one of them.

you notice she didn't say she was going to give it all away.

the i'm going to give it away ploy is used to deflect relatives and others from trying to infringe on her winnings. used successfully by many winners as it makes people forget about making an attempt to harass the winner for a share. more than likely this lucky woman will give out less than 2000.00 to her church and community combined.

OK, this woman did good by not disclosing her identity, as I'm sure most, if not all of us, would do.

But, I once had a job in SC, and had a less than favorable outcome from it.

I compare this lady's good fortune to my less than favorable ordeal, which I had experienced.

Mine had to do with an unprovoked racial incident, YES, racial. But, it's been over-with now, for over a decade, and no bad ever came of it, though the offending race at the time, acted in whole against me. I... [ More ]

It s nice for her to give back but why not be blessed and take something for yourself isn t that s why we play the lottery I swear some of these stories are not believable

I sure hope her donation is not to one of those churches, where the pastor has a Gulfstream jet parked out back. That money won t end up with the poor.Generous soul nonetheless.

I envy the lady s luck and generosity. The amount won can go a long way for some individuals alas, a giving soul deserved it more, congratulations.

Congratulations to this woman! She bet $10.00 and won $250,000.00 This is why we play and dream of winning.

She is organized about giving to her Church and the Community. Do not forget the taxes you still owe.

Nice win that why you don't give back the wrong ticket you never know. But I don't buy she doesn't need the money .If you don't need the money you will never play the lotto. just saying

She apparently doesn't need the money and it's a nice way to help others in her community.

Congrats on the win.

I wonder if she has a nephew who would like half of the money.

S.C. woman wins $250,000 on wrong lottery ticket — and is giving it away

A South Carolina woman showed some kindness when a convenience store clerk sold her a lottery ticket that was different than the one she asked for, but bought the ticket anyway.

She was rewarded. The wrong ticket turned out to be the right one, and the Greenville woman won $250,000, according to the South Carolina Education Lottery.

The unnamed woman purchased the winning ticket at the Red Robin Foods on Woodruff Rd. in Greenville County.

It was a long-shot jackpot, as the unidentified
