A man in America got lucky when he found a forgotten lottery ticket kept in his old pants pocket. The special thing was that the ticket was going to expire after a few days, but before that the person won the jackpot worth crores of rupees.
Bought ticket from petrol station
According to media reports, this person from New Jersey had bought a lottery ticket from a petrol station in May last year. He often used to visit the same petrol pump. After purchasing the ticket, he kept it somewhere and then forgot it completely.
Ticket found in pocket after months
For several months the person had no idea that he had a jackpot-winning ticket. Recently, when he was going through his old pants, he found a ticket in his pocket. There were only a few days left for the ticket to expire.
According to the report, the prize on that ticket was 5.9 million dollars i.e. approximately Rs 57 crore. The person himself was surprised to hear the news of winning such a huge amount.
Attention came from the announcement of lottery department
Last month, lottery officials publicly revealed that a major prize had not yet been claimed and was about to expire. The man became suspicious after hearing this news as the ticket was purchased from the same petrol station where he regularly visited.
discussion on social media
This unique incident is becoming increasingly viral on social media. People are calling it a game of luck, while many users are jokingly talking about checking their old pockets and shelves.
