Good for this lady. It's like a karmic reward for cleaning, or something.

(She must live in an area with a low rate of car break-ins. I learned never leave anything in the car, not even trash. Food wrappers catch the eye of wandering hobos who think you might have more food in the car.

I have to start keeping my lottery tickets in the car for a while like all these winners.

For now, I just put them into my pocket and check them as soon as the numbers are posted (or the next morning.

* Those car cleaning stories are the perfect antidote for any weekend, they give me faith in humanity. If it's not the winning ticket stashed on the dashboard despite it withstanding the glaring sunlight, it's under the seat or in the visors. If not there, it's in some other part of the car.

* Remember that golden oldie where the winning ticket was part of a Christmas tree decoration? Until some inquisitive soul took a hard long look at it said hey guys, we got a winner here

Are you getting scammed? Where are you? That's a sister who's number one concern was the well being of her sister, not the money. So happy for the family that she did not take her car to some detail shop to have it cleaned inside and out. That would have been unfortunate. This was a very happy ending.

Keep your tickets in a safe spot!

By Kate Northrop

Keep those tickets in a safe place! An Australian woman had quite the surprise when she discovered a lottery ticket worth $580,000 (US$387,187) during a car clean-out four months after the draw.

Receipts, loose change, hair ties these are the sort of things one could expect to find laying around in someone's car, but a Victorian woman found something of much higher value while doing a deep clean of her own car.
