A South Carolina man said he almost went home empty-handed, but decided at the last minute to stop at the store where he bought a lottery ticket worth $200,000.
The man told South Carolina Education Lottery officials he originally had not intended to stop for a scratch-off ticket.
"I was going home," he said. "Then I changed my mind and stopped at the store."
The man stopped at Store in Laurens and purchased a $5 Carolina Gold 50X scratch-off ticket.
The player said he scratched the ticket off while lying down at home and was in shock when he revealed the $200,000 prize.
"I just laid there," the man recalled.
The man visited lottery headquarters to receive his prize. He did not say if he had any plans for his winnings.
