May 24 (UPI) -- A Louisiana man who won a $200,000 jackpot said he had to rescue the winning ticket from the trash after it was thrown away by a family member.
Bryan Cureington, 35, of Monroe told Louisiana Lottery officials that a family member scratched off his $10 Make My Year lottery ticket for him and tossed it in the garbage when they determined it wasn't a winner.
Cureington said he rescued the ticket, purchased from the Muse Food Mart in Monroe, from the trash to double-check it and discovered it was a $200,000 top prize winner.
The lucky winner went home with $142,000 after state and federal tax withholdings.
