Dec. 21 (UPI) -- A Florida woman said she was cleaning out a backpack when she found a forgotten Powerball ticket she purchased months earlier in Maryland, and it turned out to be a $50,000 winner.
The 32-year-old Naples woman told Maryland Lottery officials she had been visiting family in Maryland during the summer when she bought a ticket for the June 26 Powerball drawing at Texas Ribs & BBQ in Clinton.
