A man from South Carolina won a grand prize in the state lottery in which the chances of winning were only 1 in 1 million. The man said he burst into tears when he found out he was a few hundred thousand dollars richer.
The man told lottery officials he cried when he found out the lottery ticket of $10 dollars that he had bought one morning in the town of Pelzer had a prize of $300 thousand dollars.
The player did not know that he had won the prize until the night, since he waited until the end of the day to scratch the ticket, as reported in News 19.
Once he was able to recover from the shock, the man told his wife that he won the lottery. “I must have told her 50 times,” he said. And it is that his wife really did not believe him.
The man showed the woman the ticket, but since she does not play the lottery, she did not realize that he had won.
Winner told officials he plans to use the money to save for retirement.
The store that sold the winning ticket, called Town and Country, located on Highway 15 South, will receive a commission of $2 thousand dollars.
