An American couple almost missed out on a $700,000 lotto jackpot prize, Katie Engolia and her husband had checked the numbers on their tickets and thought they hadn’t won anything.

Getting ready to throw them away her husband decided to check them again just in case, and found that one had stuck to the back of the other and hadn’t been checked. On checking he discovered that they had won $700,000!

The couple who play Easy 5, Lotto and Powerball on a regular basis are now planning to buy a new house and the moral of this story is always check your tickets or better still play on online at The Lotter and they will check for you and even send you an email you if you have won!
