Heart attack or lottery win? Man says they feel the same

GREENVILLE, S.C. — Symptoms of winning the lottery can feel a lot like a heart attack.

At least that's what a Seneca, S.C., man discovered after he won the $200,000 prize in a scratch-off ticket.

The winner, who wished to remain anonymous, reportedly told customers inside the Countryside Exxon in Seneca that he thought he was having a heart attack.

He got weak-kneed and sweaty and couldn't concentrate, according to South Carolina Education Lottery officials.

The man and his wife traveled to Columbia to claim their prize on Friday, where they told lottery officials that they'll use the money to pay off bills and maybe enjoy an early retirement.

As of this weekend, four top prizes of $200,000 remain in the $10 Bring on the Bens game.

The odds of winning $200,000 are 1 in 600,000.

For selling the claimed ticket, Countryside Exxon received a $2,000 commission.
