Continuing with its tradition of recognizing people who preform unusual, risky, heroic, or foolish acts , online casino and roulette provider Nine.com has announced this week's “Gambler of the Week.” Steve Jones, from Shreveport, LA, read about an unclaimed lottery ticket from last October, worth $853,492. He then decided to do a little housecleaning, and found three old tickets under his bed. One of them was the winner.
"Someone had mentioned to me there was a story in the paper about the missing ticket," Jones happily reported, "I buy them all the time, and after he told me that, I went into the room I sleep in and started looking. I grabbed me a mop and went up under the bed and found three of them."
He walked out of the Louisiana Lottery Corp.'s headquarters in Baton Rouge last Thursday, with $597,447. The rest of the money was “lost” to taxes.
