Scott Lowe of Massachusetts got busted for speeding but had a pretty good excuse when he was pulled over.

The 22-year-old was pulled over for traveling 49 mph in a 35 mph zone and got off scot-free when he flashed a winning lottery scratch-off ticket.

He had just won a $50,000 lottery prize and was on his way to collect his cash. It turns out that Thursday was 22-year-old Scott Lowe's lucky day in more ways than one.

"(The officer) stopped the car, and when he walked up to the car he could see the driver was shaking … at first he didn’t know what was the issue,” Sgt. Steven Dearth told the Boston Globe.

Lowe, who lives in the Boston suburb of Rockland, told the skeptical officer that he was speeding because his $2 scratch off ticket purchased in Hanover had just won, officials said.

Lowe, of Rockland, told the officer he was speeding because he was on his way to Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Braintree to collect his winnings.

He was formally warned by the officer and then told to continue on his way.

"He said, ‘You've got to get there slow, otherwise you won’t be able to use your winnings’," Dearth told the Globe.

Lottery officials said that Lowe filled out the paperwork on Thursday and left with $35,000 — after 30% was taken out in federal and state taxes.

Lowe wasn’t photographed by the State Lottery as normally small payouts like Lowe’s don’t attract media attention, a spokeswoman said.

“It came as a big surprise. It's certainly not the fashion in which most people make their way here to claim a prize,” Lottery spokeswoman Beth Bresnahan told the Daily News.

“He was very excited and a little shaky because of all the excitement.”

His mother told the News that the family is slightly unnerved by all the attention.
