A resident of Greenville, South Carolina, who wished to remain anonymous, donated his prize to a charity in his state.
Lucky and generous. On January 16, a resident of Greenville, in the State of South Carolina, in the United States, won $ 150,000 in Powerball, according to the South Carolina lottery, relayed by several American media including Insider.
The man, who asked to remain anonymous, immediately decided to donate the entire amount to an upstate charity, without specifying which one.
“I won enough to make someone happy,” he told the lottery company.
One in a million chance
According to the press release, this generous donor was one number away from winning the $416 million at stake that day. He actually won $50,000, tripled after paying an extra dollar for a “PowerPlay” ticket.
His odds of winning $50,000 were 913,129 to 1, according to the South Carolina Lottery.
