An Orangeburg couple has a great story to tell their daughter when she’s older.  It was her dirty diaper that helped win the family $100,000 in the lottery.

The family was traveling Interstate 26 over the weekend when they had to exit to change her diaper.  They pulled in at the 7-Eleven on Piney Grove Rd. in Columbia and before getting back on the Interstate, the mother ran in to the store to get her husband a ticket to scratch.

“It put a smile on my face,” he said seeing the $100,000 printed on the ticket.

These days, an iPod with two ear buds typically provides portable music for the young and young-at-heart.

Half a century ago, however, it was one plug in the ear, and the other end of the wire ran to what was then the latest thing in electronics – a transistor radio.

The South Carolina State Museum has received a large collection of these iconic electronics, along with another type of radio that once gathered music and information from around the world – the short wave.

Soon small businesses in South Carolina will see lower prescription drug costs under a new healthcare savings program.

The healthcare savings program will use the South Carolina Drug Card, which is sanctioned under the Prescription Assistance Program (PAP). The card can result in savings of up to 75 percent on brand and generic medications. The South Carolina Drug Card is free and accepted at all major pharmacies, including CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, BI-LO, Kmart, Fred’s, Ingles, Kerr, Longs, Target and Walmart.
