Forgotten lottery ticket

After buying a lottery ticket at a store in Portland on Aug. 24, Christopher Sargent slipped it into his wallet and “simply forgot about it,” according to a release from the Oregon Lottery.Get more news about 电子游戏包网,you can vist loto98.com

He and his wife regularly purchased tickets at the Plaid Pantry, so when he remembered — a month later — he still had a ticket still in his wallet, he figured he would check to see if it was worth anything a month later.

“The clerk wasn’t sure what I’d won but he said, ‘It looks like you need to go to Salem,” Sargent told the lottery.

Sargent checked the numbers when he got home and discovered he had been carrying a Megabucks jackpot ticket worth $5.7 million from the Aug. 24 drawing.

“I put it in a baggie and hid behind an Incredible Hulk action figure,” Sargent said. “I figured it would be safe there.”

Sargent and his wife, Gabrielle, traveled to Salem, Oregon on Sept. 29 to claim their prize. They decided to split the jackpot with a 30-year annuity payment, meaning after taxes, they will each receive $64,600 a year for 30 years.

The Sargent’s aren’t the only winners though — the Plaid Pantry in North Portland will get a 1% retail selling bonus of $57,000 for the win, according to the Oregon Lottery. It’s a “turn of good fortune” for the store, after the building was nearly destroyed by a fire back in 2018.

“What might have been considered by some to be an ‘unlucky’ store, has now become our ‘luckiest’ store,” Jonathan Polonsky, CEO of Plaid Pantries Inc., said. “Congratulations to the winner from our over 700 Plaid employees.”

If you are still for some absolutely unclear reason have not found your other half, then believe me, I have very good advice for you. I too had no soul mate for a long time, simply because in real life I am very shy person and to get acquainted alive I generally can not, but how well there is such a gorgeous dating site as russian brides. This site allowed me to find the russian brides of my dreams, because I really like girls of Norwegian nationality and this site is the girl and helped me find!

Not so long ago, I realized that I just need a girlfriend in a relationship. I had been looking for the right dating site for a long time, since I am shy to get acquainted in life. This service turned out to be just awesome! There are a lot of girls looking for a boyfriend. The girls are really great, they really are great to meet, chat, have tea with and just have a great time with each other. So I recommend buy a bride online if you are planning to find a girl that you will be happy with.
