ORANGEBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WOLO)– Midlands man plans on traveling with wife after winning a $300,000 scratch-off, said lottery officials.

The couple were sitting in their car in the parking lot of the Golden Pantry on Capital Way in Springfield when they found out they were winners.

“When I told her, she jumped out and ran around the car. She was more excited than me,” the husband told South Carolina Education Lottery officials.

The man told officials he had bought a Kings Ransom ticket before and wanted to buy another one.

“It was my turn to win. I’ve paid everything off, and I’m going to travel with my wife,” he said.

The win leaves one top prize of $300,000 in the Kings Ransom game at odds of 1 in 900,000.
