The man bought six scratch-off lottery tickets, and sole winner, a Big Money Maker ticket, appeared at first to have a $10 prize.
"I pushed it to the side and said, 'At least I got my $10 back,'" the player said.
He said a closer look revealed he had actually won a top prize of $100,000.
"He had our son on the phone in FaceTime trying to get my reaction," the man's wife said of when he broke the news.
The man said he has previously won $1,000 prizes from scratch-off tickets, but Saturday's ticket was his largest-ever prize.
The winner said he plans to pay off bills and put the rest of his winnings into savings.
