LANSING, MI -- Not even the lucky man who won $300,000 playing an instant lottery ticket believed he'd won that much money, let alone the people he told.

"Last week I thought I'd won $100 on an instant ticket, but it turned out I was reading it wrong," said the player. "When I told people I won $300,000 they were pretty skeptical, but after showing them the ticket they couldn't believe it."

The man -- who chose to remain anonymous -- turned in his winning ticket on Wednesday to claim his big prize. He bought his Hold 'Em Poker instant game ticket at the M-50 Party Store, located at 4050 E. Clinton Trail in Charlotte.

With the winnings, the man plans on paying for his upcoming wedding and making a down payment on a house.
