"I usually check the winning numbers every morning, but for this drawing I completely forgot to check my ticket. When I was at the store a few days later, I saw the Fantasy 5 jackpot had reset, and I was bummed since it was starting to get big. That's when I remembered I hadn't checked my ticket, so I went to scan it on the lottery machine."The woman's ticket matched all five numbers from the drawing: 19-21-31-32-35. She earned a $327,985 jackpot."As soon as the message came up saying to file a claim at the lottery office, I knew I was the big winner! I called my friend right away to tell her the good news," she said.The woman said she plans to invest her winnings."Winning the lottery is still sinking in, but now that I am here claiming my prize, it's starting to feel a lot more real," she said.
