South Carolina store sells $350K lottery ticket, uses prize to fund community Thanksgiving meal

purchased from a store in South Carolina earlier this month, it boosted both the finances and recognition of the two-month-old store.

Store owners Prasanna Parvatneni and Ritesh Patel received $3,500 as commission for selling the winning $10 Mighty Jumbo Bucks ticket. The winner overcame odds of one to 857,142.86 in winning her $350,000 prize.She and store supervisor Melissa Grimmette expect to have the meals packaged and ready to go on Thanksgiving Day at the store. Tarnowski is cooking all the side dishes – macaroni and cheese, dressing, green bean casserole, rolls and more – and Grimmette planned to fry most of the turkeys.

“It started because Aggi wanted to ,” Grimmette said. “She has a lot of traffic and people coming in who need food. She gives away the biscuits and things after a certain time, so she already wanted to do this. Of course, having the extra funds, figured they’d help out and match whatever we get. They’re really good about that.

I'm curious how much money has Amazon or Jeff Bezos donated to the less fortunate for Thanksgiving or for food at all.

Bless them.

What a great and generous thing to do. Thank you to the store owners.

Maybe our governments should try something like that

Kill 'em all!

What a magnanimous gesture! In some return way, the owners of the store will earn much appreciation and even blessings from some that will bring in more fortune over time.
