What would you do if you won the lottery? For most people, it probably includes paying some bills, maybe taking a trip, or buying a new vehicle.  But this South Carolina man wins the lottery and decided to update his wardrobe!

According to a press release from South Carolina Education Lottery, the Midlands man bought a $2 scratch-off at the Publix on Old Cherokee Road in Lexington.  He was doing his weekly grocery shopping and says he got out of line to buy the ticket.  He purchased the scratch-off, along with a Powerball and Mega Millions ticket.

It wasn't until a few days later he checked all his tickets at once.  But the scratch-off was his only winning ticket. Although, it wasn't a small prize! He won $30,000 on the Win It All ticket.  He didn't even feel it was real until he went to claim the cash.

As far as what he did with the cash?  He said he treated himself.  He "refreshed the wardrobe," according to WLTX.

His win leaves one top prize of $30,000 remaining in the Win It All Game.  The odds of winning at 1 in 600,000.  The Publix where he purchased the ticket in Lexington received a $300 commission for selling the ticket.
