A couple in New Jersey Collected $ 1 million after they found an old lottery in a junk box Remember their shock.
The couple from Mercer County – who declined to identify – won the award in New Jersey Mega Millions Lottery after recently scanned a ticket originally purchased on New Year’s Eve, according to one press release.
After buying the lottery ticket in Speedymart Food Store in West Trenton, the couple said they “returned home” and “put the ticket aside.”
Months later, one of the winners stumbled across the ticket. “I was in the house and just opened the box and I saw the tickets. I decided to get them checked,” they said. “I scanned them. One said” not a winner “and then another” not a winner “, and then I scanned a ticket that said” winner. ”

The lottery player said they took the winning ticket home and compared it to the numbers on the New Jersey Lottery website. They saw that they had matched, but they were not aware of the type of price waiting for them.
“I thought maybe $ 1,000 or $ 10,000. I couldn’t believe that – $ 1 million?!?”, They said.
After the victory, Mega Million’s lottery players were reminiscent of “checking those junkies” because they “never know” what they “can find.”
The organization playfully added that players could find “a couple of batteries for the remote control, a rubber band, a pen with a missing cap or maybe a million dollars.”
New Jersey Lottery also pointed out that the winners have one year “from the drawing date” to demand their prize “before the ticket expires.”
When it comes to what the New Jersey pair plans to do with their profits, they said they want to use some of it to provide help to others.
“For us, it’s more about helping the children, making sure they don’t have guilt,” said the couple per lottery.
Mega Million’s latest jackpot is now estimated to be over $ 170 million. The next drawing is May 27th.
