Multiple US Lottery Players Win Millions in Distributed Scratch-Off Prizes

Several lottery players across the United States and Australia have recently won significant prizes from scratch-off tickets and lotto draws. In South Carolina, two winners from nearby Refuel stores each claimed $500,000 from $10 scratch-offs, with both stores receiving $5,000 for selling the winning tickets. A Maryland couple won $50,000 from a scratch-off ticket purchased at Tony's Liquors in Laurel, just in time for their August birthdays. Massachusetts saw a player win $1,000 weekly for life from a $5 scratch ticket, while another won $1 million from a '300X' ticket; the state has multiple large prizes claimed this year, including two $15 million wins. In California, a couple who had been buying scratch-offs weekly for 20 years won $1 million on a 50X The Cash ticket, planning to pay off their house and donate to their church. Meanwhile, in Australia, two tickets shared a $30 million Oz Lotto jackpot, with each ticket worth $15 million, adding to a strong year of lottery winnings nationwide.
