A resident of the city of Laurel, in the state of Maryland, discovered that he was the owner of a large fortune after deciding to clean out his truck, which was the place where he kept his lottery tickets.
Among the tickets I had were some Mega Millions tickets that I had bought and forgotten about for months.
The tickets were purchased for the October 6, 2023 drawing at the Royal Farms store located on Harmony Road in Caroline County.
Instead of checking them right away, the man simply didn’t remember them and they stayed in his car.
Finding the tickets while cleaning the car, the man, as a precaution, decided to check them before throwing them in the trash.
It was then that he got a big surprise when he discovered that one of those tickets contained a prize of $30,000.
“I plan to pay my bills and invest for my retirement, which is just around the corner,” said the lucky winner.
