"Money Rain" photo by Dmitri SunagatovHoping to help her parents, a university student in Australia cashed some long-forgotten lottery tickets this week and discovered she had won $10 million (AU$13 million), CNN reported.
She also helped solve a lottery mystery that has made headlines in Western Australia for 10 months.
"People had been wondering for months, who is this mystery winner? Do they know about this ticket?" said Jodi Eastman, spokeswoman for Lotterywest. "We have a 12 month expiry on lottery tickets, and people thought it might end up expiring and go unclaimed," she added, according to the report.
It would have, too, had the student--who is in her 30s and asked lottery officials to keep her anonymous--not woken up earlier this week, suddenly remembering the bundle of lottery tickets collecting dust in a drawer, CNN reported.
The first couple of tickets yielded small amounts--$16 total. Then she checked tickets her father had given her as a gift.At first glance she thought she had won $10,000 (AU$13,000). No, the retail store clerk told her, it's $10 million (A$13 million), according to the report.
"I checked the commas and decimal places and then I realized," the woman told Lotterywest.
The winning ticket cost $6.70 (AU$8.70). The odds she beat: 1 in 45 million.Some will say it was meant to be.
Others will claim it was just luck.
I have no idea why her and not someone else. Good for her, though.
But I can't help but wonder: when the fuck is someone gonna show me the money?
