A B.C. woman has reminded everyone that they should always check their Lotto tickets – after a month-old receipt netted her $58,000.
Carolyn Bauer of Delta was cleaning her kitchen when she found three forgotten Lotto 6/49 tickets tucked behind her kitchen radio – one of which matched five of the six numbers, plus the bonus number, from the Oct. 7 draw to win $58,502.50.
“The first ticket I scanned won a free play, then $1,” said the Delta local, who purchased the tickets at the Chevron gas station on River Road. “When I scanned the third ticket it said $58,000!”
On how it feels to win, Bauer said, “It is surreal, I had to pinch myself!”
All lottery tickets expire one year from the draw date printed at the front of the ticket.
