There’s not simply junk on this drawer!
A junk drawer discover has modified the lives of an absentminded New Jersey couple endlessly.
A pair sifting via the usually missed drawer of their Mercer County house got here throughout three Mega Tens of millions tickets that they had bought on New 12 months’s Eve from a West Trenton Speedymart Meals Retailer.
They forgot concerning the lottery tickets, so that they by no means checked the numbers to see if that they had gained.
That modified earlier this month — due to some spring cleansing.
“I just opened the drawer and I saw the tickets,” mentioned one of many winners, who’ve chosen to stay nameless.
“I decided to get them checked. I scanned them. One said ‘not a winner,’ and then another ‘not a winner,’ and then I scanned a ticket that said ‘winner.’”
The ticket was price $1 million.
The successful ticket was not in peril of expiring.
In New Jersey, lottery winners have one 12 months from the date of the drawing to file a declare.
The couple already know what they’ll be doing with this sudden inflow of cashola.
“For us, it’s more about helping the children, making sure they don’t have debt,” the couple mentioned.
