A New Jersey man found a $24 million lottery ticket in his pocket two days before it was set to expire. The 64-year-old, Jimmie Smith, had the ticket in an old T-shirt hanging in his closet since he bought it in May 2016. When Smith, a retired security officer, saw an evening news  episode that alerted him to the Lottery’s efforts to find the mystery Lotto player that he was inspired to seek out the multiple unchecked tickets in his shirt pocket. It'd been nearly a year since he bought the tickets, and one of them was a big winner.
