The actual winning ticket (via California Lottery)

Do you have any old lotto tickets laying around. You may want to check them as one of them could be worth a million dollars.

Last week, Richard Denning of Anaheim finally got to checking through a stack of old Powerball tickets he had left sitting around and, well…

“I went to the store to check my tickets after work, and when I scanned the five numbers on the $10 Quick Pick ticket, I couldn’t believe when the screen said I had won over a million dollars,” Denning said in a press release.

How is that even possible?  Whenever I buy a ticket, I check the second the numbers come out for fear I would live one more second than I have to as a poor person!  Of course, that never works out.  Maybe I should just try hoarding a bunch of tickets for a while next time.

Denning won $1,109,553 by the way.
