Description
A northeast Indiana couple has presented a lottery ticket worth $1 million, doing so just hours before the ticket would have expired.
The couple, who requested anonymity, said they found the winning ticket between seats in their car.
"It was an emotional day for both of us," they said.
The couple said they had seen news stories about the unclaimed prize and began looking for their ticket. The initial search wasn't successful, but when they heard more recent stories about the claim deadline, they resumed the search and found it Christmas morning.
