SAN ANTONIO -- Imagine getting season tickets for the Dallas Cowboys for just $5.

That's exactly what one San Antonio man won. University of Incarnate Word student Israel P. Rodriguez bought a $5 Dallas Cowboys scratch-off ticket, but was not a winner. So, he filled out the back of the ticket and sent it in for a drawing.

Rodriguez won the drawing but couldn't quite believe it when he got the call.

"This is a fake," Rodriguez told the caller. "I asked him repeatedly if this was a joke. But he kept insisting. And when he gave me directions to the San Antonio Claim Center and instructions about what to do, it hit me that he wasn't faking."

Rodriguez will receive Cowboys' season tickets for 2010.

There's still a chance for you to win. The lottery is holding three more drawings.
