The man who reportedly sold the lottery ticket that won a $1.537 billion Mega Millions jackpot in Greenville County in 2018 has been arrested and charged with five counts of tax evasion, according to the South Carolina Department of Revenue.
Chirag Jayanti Patel 49, of Simpsonville, is accused of failing to report more than $2 million in sales from 2013 through 2017, warrants show. In doing so, he evaded $123,044 in sales tax, investigators said.
In October of 2018, Patel gained fame for owning the store in Simpsonville where a record lottery ticket was sold even as the winner of the jackpot declined to be identified, according to officials with the South Carolina Education Lottery.
Patel, who operates KCP, Inc., doing business as KC Mart, underreported his taxable sales each year from 2013 through 2017, according to arrest warrants.
