Harold and Tina Ehrenberg found the $1.8 million winning ticket, which
won the southern US state's June 6 Lottery Lotto draw, while doing some
holiday cleaning.
"We have family coming into town for Thanksgiving,
so I was cleaning up the house and found a few lottery tickets on my
nightstand that we hadn't checked," Tina said, according to a statement
by Louisiana Lottery.
The couple checked the Lottery's website and
soon found one of the tickets matched all of the numbers listed, and
were able to claim their prize with just two weeks remaining of the
180-day limit
After state and federal taxes, the Ehrenbergs take home $1,274,313, which they plan to put away for their retirement.
"We don't have any plans to buy anything crazy or go on any big trips," Tina said.
A single winner in the South Carolina town of Simpsonville took home a
massive $1.5 billion in the Mega Millions US lottery jackpot last month,
dwarfing a previous record set in March 2012 at $656 million.
