Prior to learning that he had won $200,000, a man from South Carolina claimed that his scratch-off lottery ticket had almost been thrown out.
The Lowcountry resident informed South Carolina Education Lottery representatives that he believed the $5 Emerald Green scratch-off ticket he purchased from the Ladson, South Carolina, Speedway station was not a winner.
Several days later, the player claimed he was about to discard the ticket when a family member looked it over again and saw it was a $200,000 winner.
