Aug. 7 (UPI) -- A South Carolina woman found sticking with the same set of lottery numbers for years to be a profitable decision when she scored a $507,000 jackpot.
The South Carolina Education Lottery said the Midlands woman had been using the same set of numbers to play Palmetto Cash 5 drawings for years before buying her winning ticket at Cuz's Corner on South Congress Street in Winnsboro.
The well-worn numbers earned the woman a $507,000 prize.
"It's about time," the player recalled thinking.
The Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot starts at $100,000 and increases each time a drawing is held with no winner. The jackpot had rolled over 23 times before the woman's big win.
