A Lottery player in Myrtle Beach has hit it big, winning $300,000 on a ticket purchased at an area convenience store.

The winner said he almost passed out after scratching the ticket inside the Easy Stop Grocery on Highway 544, according to a Monday press release from the South Carolina Education Lottery.

The winner’s name was not released.

“It’s a lifestyle change for sure,” the winner said in the release. “... This is allowing me to do things I would have never been able to.”

The store received a $3,000 commission for selling the ticket.
