What would happen if you lose a lottery ticket that won more than $1 million? It is hard to fathom the loss that you have to bear.
But luckily, there are people who get the chance to undo the mistakes of the past. On similar lines, a middle-class man in the USA who won the hefty amount of money lost the lottery ticket and recovers it back in a parking lot.
Nick Slatten purchased a Tennessee Cash lottery ticket at the Village Market in Sparta, USA. After checking the winning numbers, the following morning, he realized the ticket was worth $1,178,746.
Moments after realizing that his world could change he found out that he has lost the lottery ticket in midst of hustle and bustle.
He retraced his steps and pulled into the auto parts store parking lot, where he saw the ticket on the ground next to the driver’s side door of another vehicle.
The Tennessee Lottery reminds players that tickets are bearer instruments, like cash. If a player loses his ticket, anyone can claim it if it is unsigned. The lottery recommends players to sign their ticket immediately after purchase to identify it as theirs and to help prevent someone else from cashing it, in the event that it is lost or stolen.
