$50,000 Winning Scratchcard Mislaid Since Christmas

It’s amazing what you can find when looking for something completely different. For players in Australia and America, it led to them discovering a winning scratchcard..

In Maryland, USA a son was helping his mother by moving some furniture for her. While he was doing that, five scratchcards were found that had been intended to be placed in Christmas stockings.

He asked his mother if it was ok to scratch them off, never suspecting how much a Holiday Luck Doubler scratchcard was worth. His mother agreed and said they’d share any winnings.

A prank?

Later when at home with his wife the scratchcards were checked. Two of them won a combined $21 then the jackpot win was revealed.. The disbelieving son even asked his mother if it was a prank ticket.

It wasn’t and with his share of the scratchcard winnings, the son intends paying off the money he owes his mother. His generous mum wants to share some of her winnings with other family members. A woman in Australia  found a lottery ticket she’d been given as a Christmas present and it had won her $102,000.

Shock discovery

Meanwhile a woman from Kawana on the Sunshine Coast of Australia was looking through a pile of receipts. You can imagine her surprise, therefore, when finding some scratchcards that she had totally forgotten about. .

When she checked them to see if anything had been won, another surprise was on its way. One Confetti Cash scratchcard had won one of the top prizes of $25,000.

Now the shocked scratchcard player can’t wait to go on a relaxing holiday with her children. “They’re always working so hard, so it’ll be nice to spend some time together,” said the lucky winner.

“It’s super exciting,” she added but still can’t believe how much has been won.  Amazingly, the winning scratchcard had been sitting in that pile of receipts for a total of eight weeks.  A £1 million winning EuroMillions ticket was kept in an unlocked car  for four months.
