A window
fitter from Birmingham, England, had to speed home last week when he realized he'd tossed out a lottery ticket worth £20,000.
Gerald
Connor, 57, binned his UK National Lottery ticket when his numbers failed to
come up in the Saturday night draw. Later on while he was out an about Connor
remembered he'd entered his numbers in a promotion called Second Chance Sunday,
run by The Sun newspaper.
Beating the
trash collectors by just a matter of hours, Connor rushed home, dug deep into
the trash, and found the ticket at the bottom of the black bag.
