The man said his first two tickets were losers, so when he got to the third ticket he decided to just scratch off the prize check area and scan it with his phone.
The ticket was a $50,000 winner.
"I looked at it for several minutes," the winner recalled.
He said he knew his wife would never believe him if he called her, so he drove home to show her the ticket in person.
"I couldn't believe it," the man's wife said.
The man previously collected a $10,000 prize from a different scratch-off ticket in 2017.
"We'll be back in two years," the man's wife said, "if not sooner."
