1 Million Dollar Lottery Ticket Discovered In Tupperware Container
It would be awesome if you found a 1 million dollar lottery ticket in a Tupperware container at your house. This isn’t Science Fiction, this happened. A lady in Portland Oregon found a winning $1 million lottery raffle ticket and one of her Tupperware containers in her kitchen.
The crazy thing is that she forgot about it and what made her remember was the Powerball. The winner Leslie Carr, said, “I had no idea I was the winner. If it weren’t for the billion-dollar Powerball winner making news, I would have forgot. We don’t check our tickets.”
She Purchased The 1 Million Dollar Lottery Ticket And Didn’t Check It
How do you buy a lottery ticket and then don’t check to see if you’ve won? If you’re gonna play the game, you gotta see if you won. So, she bought the 1 million dollar lottery ticket back in March and waited over a month before checking to see if she won.
The billion-dollar Powerball winner she is talking about happened earlier in April. A person from the state she is from, Oregon, won the jackpot worth more than $1.3 billion.
