A South Carolina man said he won a $300,000 lottery jackpot thanks to a craving for a candy bar bringing him to the right store at the right time.
The Landrum resident told South Carolina Education Lottery officials he was only looking for a candy bar when he stopped at the Corner Mart in Landrum, but while in the store he decided to buy a $300,000 Extra Play scratch-off ticket.
The man said he was shocked to scratch off the $300,000 top prize.
"I about passed out," the winner recalled.
The lucky player said his candy bar didn't fare quite as well as it sat forgotten in his car after his attention was taken by the lottery ticket.
"It kind of melted before I finally ate it," he said.
I’ve got a golden ticket!
Was it a Payday?
My money is on a Snickers bar.
May be the air blend door of his vehicle's heater was stuck open.
GEE WHIZ, you never know. I hate candy bars. And only buy lotto tickets when prize is over $500K.
Maybe I’ll buy Mars Bars and give them away.
Ha well-played

Dude! I love paydays!
Always get Payday. That way if you win the Lotto, your candy bar will be less likely to melt during all the excitement and you’ll have the winnings AND a candy bar.
Twix would be acceptable too, as it has the cookie crunch and would stand up to heat. Three Musketeers would be right out.
Coming soon to a school district near you.
Perhaps it was a $300,000 Snickers for the losers.
Landrum ping.
