Old lottery ticket worth millions
An Australian woman who checked a bunch of old lottery tickets because she was worried about her family's finances found she had won more than $10 million 10 months ago, officials said yesterday.
The university student in her 30s won 13,185,273 Australian dollars (about $10.29 million) after checking the 10-month old ticket she'd received as a gift from her father - two months before it would have expired.
