A lottery player came close to losing out on a life-changing sum of money after nearly throwing away the winning ticket.
Jacqueline Leigh, 60, told lottery officials that she bought a £5 ticket from a local food market but didn't think she'd won after scratching it off.
"I really was about to throw it away," she told UPI. "But I went back and looked at it again and that's when I discovered it."
