A woman from New Jersey got the surprise of her life after she “accidentally” purchased a lottery ticket in New York City and used it as a bookmark for two weeks before finally opening it.
Forty-six-year-old Oksana Zaharov, of Edgewater, told New York lottery officials that she only planned to buy a $1 scratch-off ticket but was mistakenly issued a $10 “Set for Life” ticket by the clerk, NJ.com reported. She decided to keep and pay the $10 for it anyway.
