International: Mayor finds long-forgotten lottery ticket was a winnerIt took some help from her daughter for the mayor of Pemberton, British Columbia, a small town north of Vancouver, to find she had a lottery ticket worth $100,000 ($US75,000).
Elinor Warner bought the Canucks scratch ticket in December and left it partially scratched in a drawer.
The ticket was from a marketing campaign launched by the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation last year.
"I didn't realize I hadn't scratched every part," Warner said Monday as she collected her winnings.
"I entered the online contest and then put it in a drawer. My daughter saw it in there on Saturday, pulled it out and realized that I'd won something pretty big."
