The winning $2 ticket — 5, 28, 62, 65, 70; and the Mega Ball: 5 — was sold at a convenience store, KC Mart No. 7, in Simpsonville. The store’s owner, C.J. Patel, will receive $50,000.

The winner had about a 1 in 302 million shot to get it right.

The South Carolina Education Lottery Commission said in a statement that the winner “marvels at how every decision made that day brought the winner to the store, at that very moment, to make the Quick Pick Mega Millions lottery ticket purchase.” The winner had allowed another customer to make a ticket purchase in front of him or her in line, the commission said.

“A simple act of kindness led to an amazing outcome,” it said.
