NJ couple finds long forgotten lottery ticket worth $1M in junk drawer
Briefly

A New Jersey couple discovered three Mega Millions lottery tickets in their junk drawer during spring cleaning, which they had purchased on New Year's Eve. After checking the tickets, they found one was worth $1 million. The couple, who chose to remain anonymous, expressed plans to use the winnings for their children's financial well-being, emphasizing a desire to help them avoid debt. New Jersey lottery winners have a year to claim their prizes, and fortunately, their winning ticket was not close to expiring.
"I just opened the drawer and I saw the tickets. 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.'"
"For us, it's more about helping the children, making sure they don't have debt."
