A woman from South Carolina was sold the wrong scratch off ticket when she went to her local lottery retailer, but it turned out to be a fortuitous mistake.The lottery player, who remained anonymous when she claimed her $250,000 scratch off prize, agreed to buy the ticket that the store clerk had prepared for her, even though it wasn’t the one that she’d asked for when she went into the South Carolina convenience store. Fortunately, she was rewarded for her kindness and the wrong ticket was actually just the right one, as she won $250,000. A woman from New Jersey was also in the same predicament when a cashier mistakenly handed her the wrong lottery ticket, but she ended up winning $5 million.The winning scratch off ticket was purchased from Red Robin Foods on Woodruff Road in Greenville County, South Carolina, and the lucky woman beat odds of 1 in 660,000 to win her $250,000 prize. The ‘7’ scratch off game that the Greenville woman ended up buying also worked out well for the red Robin Foods store, as it received a bonus worth $2,500 from the South Carolina Education Lottery as a reward for selling the winning ticket.
