The player said he wasn't sure what he was seeing after scratching the ticket off.
"I was confused and surprised at the same time," he recalled. "I really didn't know that I was a winner."
The player said his father confirmed the ticket was a $50,000 winner. He said the father, an avid scratch-off player, has yet to win his own big prize.
"He told me to cash it in as soon as possible and that is why I am here," the winner said.
The winner said some of his prize money will go toward buying a new car.
