Over the past few months, a Kentucky man accumulated a stack of unchecked lottery tickets
but little did he know that there was a $1 million winning Powerball ticket sitting right there the entire time.
They took the ticket, checked Google to see how much you win for matching the five white ball winning numbers
and not the Powerball, and told me we had just won a million dollars.
An anonymous Kentucky lottery player was not expecting to find
a slip of paper worth $1 million tucked away in an old stack of unchecked lottery tickets.

I had gone through about 40 tickets and got to the last five to see if I had any winners," he told the Kentucky Lottery.
He wrapped up at work that afternoon and took a trip to Lottery headquarters and was awarded a check for $710,000 after taxes.
The $1 million winning ticket was purchased at Crossroads IGA on Abigail Way in Lexington, which receives a $10,000 bonus for selling it.
