A woman from Germany had quite a surprise while cleaning her house for Christmas. When she discovered an old lottery ticket from two years ago, she pocketed more than $145,300.
According to reports from the New York Post, the woman bought a Super 6 lottery ticket in February 2021, but then put it on the desk and completely forgot about its existence.
She had spent nearly $58 betting on the same six-figure sum over four weeks. Two years later, she discovered the ticket was a winner.
“I don't believe it! It's like I just rediscovered a forgotten treasure,” she confessed.
Those responsible for the lottery reported that the lottery ticket was in perfect condition when received.
In Germany, winnings from a 2021 lottery can be claimed until December 31, 2024.
