Man Living At S.C. Mission Wins $200,000

GREENVILLE, S.C., (UPI) –  A South Carolina man who won $200,000 on a lottery scratch-off ticket told officials he had been living at a rescue mission.

South Carolina Education Lottery officials said the Greenville man, whose name was not released, won the prize on a $10  scratch-off ticket called The Color of Money and said the money will enable him to move out of the mission, WHNS-TV, Greenville, reported Monday.

“To see a person you know, he gets $200,000 but he doesn’t have a penny in his pocket, I couldn’t believe he won $200,000,” said Simon Sfeir, owner of the Simons Liquors store where the man purchased the ticket.

    The Bible says that only good comes from God. It also says that money quickly gotten is quickly gone. (This is borne out by many lottery winners who buy everything in sight and are often broke in a year or two). It will be interesting to see the end result of this and to see if this does change this gentleman’s life for the better.
