A South Carolina woman said a superstition about an itchy palm led to her winning a $30,000 lottery prize.
The Midlands woman told South Carolina Education Lottery officials she stopped at the Walmart Fuel Station on Pinewood Road in Sumter for a very specific reason: “My hand was itching a lot.” Advertisement
An old superstition holds that itchy palms are a sign of impending good luck in the lottery, so the woman picked out a $2 20X The Cash scratch-off ticket.
She scratched the ticket off in her car and revealed a $30,000 prize.
The woman said she now has to figure out what to do with her winnings.
“I don’t have any plans for it yet,” she said.
