California woman accidentally washed lottery ticket: misses $ 26 million | Abroad

“When she took out her washed clothes, the lot was shredded into small pieces,” Bobby Henley, the regular at the gas station where the lot was bought, told CBS Los Angeles. He ran into her after it happened. The woman desperately tried to glue the lottery together, but it was too late for that.

According to the lottery organization, if you want to receive your prize, you must be able to show the ticket or prove with a clear photo that you were in possession of the winning ticket. The employees of the gas station tried to help the woman. They tried to show with security footage that the woman had really bought the winning ticket. However, it was not clear enough from the images whether it actually concerned the winning lottery ticket.

Yet there are not only victims in this story. The gas station that sold the lottery ticket received a $ 130,000 bonus because the grand prize was not received.
