When most people clean their wallets, they only find a few dollars and some old receipts.
Redding's Charles Dudley found a virtual pot of gold in his $ 1 million Powerball ticket that would soon have expired, according to the Connecticut Lottery.
The ticket was drawn from the May 2 draw, the lottery announced last week. Dudley, of Redding, had 23 days to claim the prize when he found the ticket. He claimed it on 3 October.
The Powerball winning numbers drawn on May 2 were 5-14-31-40-50, Powerball 6. Dudley's ticket matched the first five numbers drawn.
He found the bill a few months later stuck between old receipts in his wallet, said the lottery.
"I checked the winning numbers on the lottery website and did not believe it. I have checked it again and again. The numbers were a match, "he told the lottery officials. "It did not seem real, though, until I checked the location of the ticket sale. This is where I bought my ticket. "
He told them that he had stopped to eat ice cream at the Georgetown Shell in Wilton on May 2. "While I was there, I received a Pick Pick Power Pick, I put it in my wallet and I forgot it."
For the sale of the winning ticket, the store will get a bonus of $ 2,500, said the lottery
