A South Carolina man almost threw away his January 24 Palmetto Cash 5 winning lottery ticket, but he realized just in time
A South Carolina man overcame 1 in 500,000 odds of winning $100,000 in the lottery then almost threw it all away - literally.
The man, who was unnamed by the South Carolina Education Lottery, had purchased a Palmetto Cash 5 lottery ticket from a Newberry, South Carolina, BP gas station. He checked his ticket and saw that it didn't match the winning numbers, so he tossed it in the trash. But while he sipped his coffee, he realized he had checked the wrong date. He returned to the trash and looked over the numbers once more. That's when his world stopped -- he noticed he had actually won.
