S.C. man's first-ever lottery ticket earns him $375,000

June 9 (UPI) -- A South Carolina man experienced a bout of beginner's luck when he bought his first-ever lottery ticket and scored a $375,000 prize.

The Pee Dee man told South Carolina Education Lottery officials he had never purchased a lottery ticket before his recent visit to the Mini Mart on National Cemetery Road in Florence.

The player selected a $10 Mighty Jumbo Bucks scratch-off ticket, which revealed a $375,000 prize.

"It was wonderful," the winner recalled.

The man said he is saving his winnings for now. He said he is not sure if he will buy a second lottery ticket.

"I haven't bought a ticket since," he said.
