A spontaneous decision to buy a scratch-off lottery ticket turned out to be the right choice for one South Carolina man.

The Upstate resident wasn’t planning to buy a ticket, but while he was at a Speedee Mart convenience store in Clinton, he went with the “spur of the moment decision” to grab one, according to a Jan. 19 South Carolina Education Lottery news release. While inside, he picked up a $20 scratch-off, lottery officials said.

The prize amount turned out to be a real shock for the man, lottery officials said.

He won $2 million on his lucky ticket, according to lottery officials.

“My mind was blown,” the man said in the release. “I started shaking a little.”

Because his win came as such a surprise, the man told lottery officials he didn’t have any solid plans for how to spend it.

Clinton is about 60 miles northwest of Columbia.
