In the United States, a couple who found a lottery ticket just hours before the deadline for paying the prize money barely received about 1.5 billion won.

According to Indiana lottery company Hoosier Lottery, the couple in Kendallville, Indiana, saw news and ads that the first-place winner of the Powerball lottery, which was released in June last year, had not yet received money.

They checked it just in case, and found out that the first winner came out of the store where they bought the lottery ticket and the number was also their number on Christmas Day. However, the problem was that the deadline for paying the prize money was the same day. The lottery was due until 180 days after the drawing.




The couple, who confirmed that there was no lottery ticket in the house, speculated that they would have revived their memories and put them in the car.

I literally looked for it to the point where I turned the car over, but I couldn't find it at last.

Meanwhile, the couple, who found the lottery ticket embedded deep between the seats and confirmed that they were first, drove to the Huzier Rotary headquarters in downtown Indianapolis. It was only five hours before the deadline. The prize money was $1 million (about 1.47 billion won).




The couple `was so cold that they sweated. It will be a Christmas day that I will never forget."
