I can understand why the man who lives in Midlands South Carolina does not to give out his name or his identity to the public since he would have to deal with strangers coming to ask him to bail them out since the stranger needs money to meet his or her basic needs. The male who lives in Midlands went to a Pitt Stop store in Blythewood South Carolina five days ago. The catch was that the lucky lottery did not scratch the $300,000 dollar Fun Fortune Scratch Off Ticket and placed the lottery ticket in the car console. He left the lottery inside of the car for two days before he decided to scratch the ticket and he found out that he won the grand prize of $300,000 dollars before taxes. To put it mildly, the lucky lottery ticket winner is a very happy man. The lucky lottery winner went to Columbia Lottery Claims Center to collect his prize money. The lottery winner did not mention what he will do with his lottery winnings since he wants to keep his plans away from the public. I do not blame him.

Although $300,000 is not what it used to be, I´d love to have it for free. I would try not to tell anyone but problably I´d end up telling myclosest family and my best friends.

I have seen documentaries of lottery winners who lose their money since they buy items that they do not need.

Smart man, if you ever win big it’s best to keep it to yourself.

The advice that many social media personalities mention on Twitter to keep quiet on winning lottery money prize money to themselves.

He has much more restraint than I do. And, my curiosity would get the better of me. I couldn't leave the ticket for two days.

I share your feelings on what happened when the lucky lottery winner did put away the winning ticket in the car console and kept it there for two days.

It is best not to tell anybody when i win in a lottery especially if it is a big amount. I will just keep it to me and my children.

It is true since a lottery winner who reveals his or her identity to the public is inviting big trouble like the reason the majority of fictional characters never reveal their secret identities to the public since their loved one will be target of their enemies.

$300,000 is a nice piece of change. I wish him all the best.

Lottery winners who win a huge amount of money have a right to keep quiet on their good fortune in the same vein that fictions characters keep their secret identities away from the public.
