Baker's ticket matched four white balls and the Powerball, earning him a $50,000 prize that was doubled to $100,000 thanks to his choosing the Power Play option.
"It was definitely a shocker," he said. "I just kept looking at it to make sure I was reading it right. I told my family, but they didn't believe me either."
Baker said he plans to save his winnings for now and plans to eventually buy a house.
