I love stories like this one.
A 30-year-old university student in Perth, Australia, and her family were having financial problems, so she decided to re-check some old lottery tickets she had stashed in her drawer.
One of them – a birthday present from her father – was a winner. A $13-million (Australian) winner. And it was going to expire on July 22.
She apparently didn’t read the papers, which had been reporting that the winner of the region’s largest-ever Lotterywest Lotto prize had still not stepped forward.
At first, she was ecstatic because she thought she’d won $13,000. And then she rechecked her commas and decimals and realized she’d hit the jackpot.
By the way, the prize converts to more than $10.3 million US.
