Since September, Tina Edwards has been driving her car around the city of Greensboro, in the state of North Carolina, without knowing that a lottery ticket with a value of more than $600 $1,000 was by his side the entire time, according to a press release from the North Carolina Education Lottery.
“I didn’t know I won. I was driving around with it for two months with no idea I had a winning ticket,” Edwards said.
Edwards, who is a customer service manager, stopped by the Best Way store in September and bought some lottery tickets while on her way to dinner with a co-worker.
Last Tuesday, Edwards and the same co-worker went to another gas station and decided to check some old tickets they had.
“We were at the store and she said: ‘ Oh! You won something. I’ve been in complete shock for the last two days,” Edwards said.
Edwards matched all five white balls in the draw for the 28 of September, which made her win the jackpot.
The woman went to the lottery headquarters on Thursday to collect your prize. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took $464,121 dollars.
Edwards said he plans to use the money to pay for his house and take a family trip to Dubai.
