Man waits 6 months to claim lotto millions

NEWCASTLE, Australia, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- An Australian man held a $2 million lotto ticket for six months, lottery officials said Thursday.

The Daily Telegraph reported the 48-year-old Newcastle, New South Wales, man said he had not yet been ready to become a millionaire.

"There was something about claiming that much money that I wasn't ready for, I had to get my head around it," the man said.

The man decided Wednesday the time was right and contacted New South Wales Lotteries with his winning ticket from the Jan. 12 drawing.

"My wife went to a clairvoyant about 12 months ago and as soon as she walked in she was told she was going to come into some big money," the lotto winner said.

Student IDs misspell school name

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Student identification cards issued this week with the name of the school and its town misspelled are only temporary, school officials said.

Principal Ed Johnson of Reynoldsburg High School said the IDs, which omit the "y" from Reynoldsburg, are only to be used by the students until permanent IDs, using pictures taken this week, are delivered to the school, The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch reported.

Johnson said the error was made by Lifetouch, the photography service contracted by the school.

Lifetouch spokeswoman Sara Thurin Rollin said the company has assured the school everything will be properly spelled on the permanent IDs, which are expected to be delivered within a few weeks.
