COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– A Midlands woman was feeling lucky when she got off work, so she bought a lottery ticket and won.

The winner paid $5 for the winning $250,000 ticket at the Mini Mart on S. Congress Street in Winnsboro.

“I wish it would have been more, so I could quit my job,” she joked with South Carolina Education Lottery officials after cashing in her winning ticket.
