South Carolina man wins $100,000 lottery after using strategy he saw on TV.

South Carolina man has won more than $100,000 after trying a lottery strategy he says was inspired by an episode of TLC's "Lottery Changed My Life."

The strategy was to spend $25 per week for three months playing the lottery. During the first week, he won $500. But on the seventh week, he took home $100,000.

The bigger prize hit while playing a Powerball ticket. He initially thought he won $50,000 by matching two numbers, but fortunately his wife checked again and helped him confirm that he matched four of five white ball numbers and the red Powerball, which increased the prize.

"I didn't even know how to play Powerball," the lucky winner told South Carolina Lottery officials.
