An Upstate man was stunned when he won the grand prize on a scratch-off ticket, South Carolina Education Lottery officials said.

“I was surprised,” the man said in a press release about winning a $50,000 jackpot on a Jumbo Bucks game he purchased for $2.

The scratch-off ticket with the five-figure prize was sold at the Express Mart gas station/convenience store at 219 Shiloh Road in Seneca, the press release said.

This was not the first time the winner had purchased a lottery ticket at Express Mart, officials said. He did not say whether he would continue to buy lottery tickets after his big win.

The man also did not reveal what plans he has with the new windfall: “I will not make any major changes.”

The winner is afforded a certain degree of privacy because South Carolina is one of eleven states – along with Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas and Virginia – where lottery winners can remain anonymous.

The odds of winning the top prize in the $2 Jumbo Bucks game were 1 in 600,000, according to the news release. Two of the game’s eight top-prize tickets have not yet been claimed, officials said.

Express Mart received a commission of $500 for the sale of the claimed ticket, the press release said.
