Linda scratched off the ticket and, thinking it wasn't a winner, put it into a pile with her other losing tickets to enter in Second-Chance drawings.
The woman said she recently picked up the stack of tickets and to scan them with the Colorado Lottery's app and enter them in the Second Chance drawing, but the Golden Jubilee ticket was rejected by the app.
Linda took a closer look at the ticket and discovered it was a $3 million top prize winner.
"How crazy is that!? If Linda didn't participate in our Second-Chance drawings, the ticket would have gone in the trash. Congratulations, Linda!" the Colorado Lottery said.
