Grocery trip to Walmart earns S.C. woman a $140,000 lottery jackpot

Feb. 7 (UPI) -- A South Carolina woman made a trip to the store for groceries and brought home a lottery ticket worth $140,000.

The woman told South Carolina Education Lottery officials she went to Walmart in Taylors for groceries and decided to buy a Palmetto Cash 5 ticket from the Murphy USA Kiosk in front of the store.

The player checked her ticket later that night and discovered she had matched all five numbers, earning a $140,000 jackpot.

"It is wonderful," she said.

The lucky shopper said her prize money is already being put to good use.

"I'm debt free," the winner said.
