A Canadian woman discovered she had won a $45,000 lottery jackpot when she was cleaning her kitchen a month after the drawing.
Carolyn Bauer told British Columbia Lottery Corp. officials she was cleaning her kitchen when she found three forgotten Lotto 6/49 tickets hidden behind a radio.
Bauer checked the tickets and found that one of them matched five of the six drawn numbers and the bonus number from the Oct. 7 drawing.
She said the first ticket she scanned had won a free play, the second ticket had won $1 and the third was the $44,683.98 big winner.
“It is surreal,” Bauer said. “I had to pinch myself.”
