A lottery player in Italy threw out a €1 million winning ticket, and it took an army of garbage men two days to fish it back out. One man went through the script twice, as he recently won the lottery for a second time in 15 years without ever meaning to play again. Yet, this Italian lottery case skipped the simple part entirely and turned into a full-blown salvage operation instead. Stray lottery tickets keep causing chaos well beyond Italy. Earlier this year, a Circle K employee in Arizona found himself in a legal fight after cashing in a customer’s abandoned $13 million ticket, proof that a ticket left behind can turn into a headache for everyone involved.
