Wife’s birthday proves lucky for Columbia lottery winner
There may be 5 million web results on a Google search for “how to pick winning lottery numbers,” but all one Midlands player needed was the numbers he uses every time he buys a lottery ticket: his wife’s birthdate.
The Columbia man, who does not want to be identified publicly, bought the ticket at the Pitt Stop #12 on Knox Abbot Drive in Cayce on April 19, South Carolina Education Lottery officials announced Thursday.
He told lottery officials he felt weak when the numbers “6, 8, 12, 22, 43, MB:28” came up and he realized that he had hit the jackpot. He didn’t win the $103 million Mega Millions jackpot, but five of the six numbers matched, meaning he had won a cool million bucks.
He told officials he is paying off his house with the winnings but will continue to play his lucky numbers. He said he hasn’t missed a Mega Millions drawing since the game was launched in S.C. in 2010.
The odds of winning $1 million? Nearly 4 million to 1, lottery officials say.
