In Rock Hill, residents have won life-changing lottery prizes as one person won $500,000 from The Big $pin lottery on July 29 at Saluda Discount Food and Beverage while another man won $1 million from a scratch-off ticket at Quick Food Mart—an unclaimed $180,000 Palmetto Cash 5 ticket and a $150,000 win from The Lamp digital lottery game show that state lottery funds continue to support local education.

A man in his early 70s was struck by a train at 10:20 a.m. Tuesday on Johnston and Wilson streets in downtown Rock Hill and was taken to Piedmont Medical Center in critical condition—train crew members were unharmed and traffic was disrupted at nearby crossings, prompting officials to advise alternate routes.

742 North, a co-working space in Rock Hill, will close in September after five years in operation as the owners sell the property amid pandemic challenges.

A suspected kidnapper, Eric Pressley, was shot by his hostage at a home on Oak Hill Road around 1 a.m. on Wednesday—he fled in a stolen car and led a multi-agency chase that ended near Piedmont Medical Center in Fort Mill, and he is now in the hospital facing charges.

MUSC was named South Carolina’s top hospital for 2025 by U.S. News & World Report on July 29—marking its 11th straight year with this honor.
