“I used to only play draw games, but recently I switched and started playing instant games instead,” said the player. “It was about a week and a half after I made the switch to playing instant games that I bought this ticket.
“I was scratching the ticket at home and when I revealed the tenth word, I thought: ‘This can’t be.’ I looked the ticket over three times and then I gave it to my daughter to look over. She looked it over and said: ‘Dad, you won the big one!’
“I still couldn’t believe it, so I took it to the store to scan it, and that’s when it started sinking in that I’d really won. Winning a $300,000 lottery prize is the best feeling in the world!”
The lucky player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim his big prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay off his home and complete some home projects.
