$1,000,000 Spur-Of-The Moment Purchase 

 

Glen Van Wagoner, a winter resident of Mesquite, is not a regular Lottery player, but when he finally decided to purchase some Powerball tickets, it was the right time and the right place. He and his wife drove up to Beaver Dam Lodge, and he said, “Let’s buy some Lottery tickets. It’ll give us something to play during the month.” He ended up buying two multi-draw Quick Picks on Powerball. He then put them in his briefcase and forgot about them. That briefcase went to Utah and Texas, was left in hotel rooms, the back seat of a rental car, etc. Glen said, “I was very lucky.”

Back in Utah, he decided to check the local Mesquite news online, and that’s where he read about a $1,000,000 Powerball ticket that was still unclaimed. He knew it couldn’t be his, but it jogged his memory. Glen remembered the Powerball tickets he’d purchased and got them out of the briefcase to check. He saw that his numbers for the September 15, 2012, draw matched the winning numbers, but had no idea what he’d won until he did a little more checking. He said, “My heart was jumping all over the place.” It took him a few more minutes to convince his wife that he wasn’t seeing things. Because he’d forgotten about the tickets, he didn’t redeem his $1,000,000 Powerball until October 10, 2012, almost one month later.

The couple plan to pay off some bills and invest the rest for retirement. Glen said, “It’s been so much fun, I’m ready to do it again.” The winning ticket was purchased from Beaver Dam Lodge located at 452 Old Highway 91 North, Beaver Dam.
