LOTTERY TICKET STILL GOOD AFTER A SPIN IN THE WASHING MACHINE
August 8, 2011

Some people see winning the lotteries as their destiny. We don’t know if a lucky man from New Zealand believed so, but it certainly looks like that from where we are standing. The man from Christchurch won $250,000 and he didn’t even know about it. It turns out he had the ticket in his jeans for about 4 weeks and he even machine washed them in the meanwhile. Sport bet

The winner, which decided to keep his identity a secret, purchased his ticket at the Pak’n’Save in Moorhouse. The ticket was for a Lotto draw held on July 9, but the man didn’t find the ticket until last week, after he washed an old pair of jeans. Sports betting odds

“I went through the wet pockets and realised I had washed a Lotto ticket in the jeans. I figured it wouldn’t be worth anything but I was heading to Countdown to buy my tea and thought I’d check it anyway,” the winner stated. “It wouldn’t read in the self check scanner so I took it to the counter and the Lotto lady told me I had won $250,000.”

The city where the winner lives was devastated by an earthquake back in February, and the winner said he was just managing to get by. We here couldn’t be more pleased that another lottery prize ended up in the hands of someone who actually needs it. This is just how the lottery works sometimes. Sports betting site

You often hear about rich people winning the lottery or even criminals who only use the money to fuel their unlawful activities. But every once in a while, a single mother of three working two jobs, or a man whose town was destroyed by nature manages to win a substantial sum.

“I couldn’t even remember where or when I had bought the ticket and I’m so glad it survived the washing machine,” the winner added.

It just goes to show that you can win it if you just try. $250,000 may not be an extreme amount of money, but it sure is enough to help a person live a better life.

Well, that’s about it on the matter for now. Be sure to visit us again soon as we will undoubtedly keep you posted with every bit of lottery news from the United States and the rest of the world.
