Wisconsin offers 2nd chance drawing for non winning lottery plays. Still important to scan all tickets at the retailer before mailing!! Congrats. to the Oregon player.

I'm guilty of not always checking my tickets right away. Several months ago I found a 4 week old pick 3 ticket I had left on a table in the basement. Scanned it at Sunoco and found that I'd won $350!! It was a number that I don't play regularly, so when my normal numbers didn't hit I just didn't think to check the ticket and must've forgotten that I'd played 372.

if ever something was to be found at the last minute, it's not just money, but serious money. I hope it's Weshar75.

Coming forward so late probably spoiled the plans of anyone who were planning to make a false claim of losing their ticket.

Having read all the responses to the article so far, I have little to add.

I hope the winner buys several automotive toys, and such things.

Pay attention to your bets, you're in it to win it! And 1 final thing (humor) I'm sure Mr. Panisa can well afford a new washing machine. He probably has to wash his shorts a few extra times. Be thankful to the Lottery spirit.

Congratulations on the win new Year new wealth. I couldn't hold myself I buy a ticket I need to know as soon as the numbers are drawn. I should relax this year and check the numbers a month later maybe like that I will win more often.

If I know I have a ticket worth a million I sure wouldn't put it in an envelope and forget about it.
