A Timmonsville woman won $200,000 after she bought a Money Mania lottery ticket at Kens Corner 3 in Florence.

She had to get out her magnifying glass to read the six digits, a two followed by five zeros, printed on her ticket. Seeing $200,000 clearly caused her to slide off her bed and into the floor.

"She wasn't calm at all," her daughter said.

Her sons told her to put the ticket away and get a good night's sleep.

"I was awake all night, looking at that ticket," the winner said.

The winner told lottery officials she had a feeling she should buy a lottery ticket and bought just the one. She hopes her $10 purchase will put her in a new house and car.

Five top prizes of $200,000 remain in the $10 Money Mania game, according to a press release.

The odds of winning $200,000 are 1 in 480,000.

Kens Corner 3 in Florence received a commission of $2,000 for selling the claimed ticket.
