Woman Wins $100 000 From Ric Flair Ticket
Posted: Feb 6th 2011 By: CMBurnham
A Winnsboro woman is a new fan of entertainment wrestling legend and Williams-Brice mainstay Ric Flair after she won $100,000 from a scratch-off ticket.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, bought the ticket at the 97 Express in Richburg, whose owner will collect a one percent retailer bonus of $1,000 for selling the winning ticket.
She said that only her husband was a fan of the Nature Boy before she uncovered the big prize. Known for his signature, "Wooo!" catchphrase, the South Carolina Education Lottery began Flair's "Lucky WOOOOO!" game on Jan. 25.
The winner's husband told lottery officials that he was walking around their house chanting Flair's "Woooo!" when his wife told him to be quiet.
"Now, I have a new reason to scream 'Woooo!' he said in a news release. "She's started saying it."
The couple said they plan to use the money for expenses.
