A woman from Latta, South Carolina, is celebrating a life-changing win after her lucky numbers earned her more than $60,000 in the South Carolina Education Lottery. The woman, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has been playing the combination of family birthdates—1-7-2-3—for years, with remarkable success.
A Lucky Streak
On April 21, her numbers came through once again during the midday Pick 4 drawing. The winning combination led to her winning 16 times in total, with the most recent win being particularly significant.
“It’s the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me,” the winner exclaimed, sharing her excitement with lottery officials. “I was screaming and hollering.”
The Big Win
The $1 tickets were purchased at the Quick Stop on South Richardson Street in Latta. Eight of the winning tickets were purchased straight, each earning $5,000, while another eight tickets won $2,600 each. In total, the woman walked away with more than $60,000.
What’s Next for the Winner
The odds of matching all four numbers in the exact order drawn are 1 in 10,000, making this win even more remarkable. When asked what she plans to do with the prize money, the lucky winner shared that she plans to pay off both her house and car, securing a brighter future for herself.
With her winning streak continuing, it seems the numbers 1-7-2-3 may be the key to even more good fortune ahead.
