$23 million lottery winner forgot [PHOTO/VIDEO], PALMDALE, Calif.
(tPC) - A California woman who didn't know she had a jackpot-winning $23
million lottery ticket in her car has come forward to claim her fortune.
The San Bernardino
County Sun reports the Palmdale woman’s daughter recognized her from a
newspaper photo of the supposed winner, captured on the liquor store’s
surveillance camera.
"She
just never checked the ticket," lottery spokesman Alex Traverso told
the newspaper. "Her daughter took a picture of her photo in the
newspaper and sent it to her mother, she went to her car and found the
ticket."
The woman bought the ticket in May, and with 180 days to claim the prize, she only had until Nov. 26 to cash in. Go here to read more and see the photo.
