Bradley Ficus of Jasonville won the top prize of $250,000 from a Platinum Payout tickets instant game. He bought his ticket at a Country Mart gas station in Jasonville.

He immediately pulled over at Country Mart to refuel and purchased two $10 Platinum Payout tickets while he was at it, the Lottery said.

"When he got home, Bradley let his girlfriend choose one of the tickets to scratch," the Lottery said. "While they were scratching the tickets, Bradley suddenly exclaimed, 'No way! This can’t be real!'

When Ficus showed his girlfriend the ticket, she was amazed to see that he had won the game's top prize of $250,000. Though she initially thought it was a joke, she told the lottery.

When Ficus scanned the ticket using the Hoosier Lottery app to confirm his win, he told the Lottery that he burst into tears.

Ficus told the Lottery that he intends to use his winnings to make a down payment on a house, buy a camper, and invest some money.
