"I woke up thinking maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket and see what happens," Her said.

The winner said he bought a $100,000 Ultimate Getaway scratch-off ticket from the Tri City BP gas station in Roseville and discovered his dream was apparently prophetic -- he won the $100,000 top prize.

"Sometimes dreams do mean something," Her said.

Her said his plans for the money include buying his parents a new car and funding his upcoming wedding.
