**BREAKING: PORTLAND WOMAN DISCOVERS $1 MILLION TICKET HIDING IN TUPPERWARE CONTAINER, PROVES EVEN THE MOST FORGETFUL PEOPLE CAN WIN BIG!**
In a stunning turn of events, a Portland woman’s life was forever changed when she stumbled upon a $1 million Oregon Lottery Raffle ticket that had been languishing in a Tupperware container on her kitchen counter for weeks.
According to sources close to the winner (okay, we made that up), the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous but is reportedly now sipping champagne and eating caviar, had purchased the ticket on a whim several weeks ago. In a bizarre twist, she had stashed it away in a Tupperware container filled with other lottery tickets, where it sat quietly accumulating dust and, quite literally, gathering no interest.
“It was like it was waiting for me to remember it was there,” said the woman in a phone interview, still in a state of shock. “I mean, I knew I had bought the ticket, but I had completely forgotten about it. I thought for sure I had lost it or given it to my sister as a gift or something!”
The woman claims she only remembered the ticket when she was rummaging through her kitchen, searching for a leftover Tupperware lid. “As I was digging through the container, I saw a piece of paper that looked suspiciously like a lottery ticket. And then it hit me – could it be? COULD IT BE?!”
After verifying the ticket with the Oregon Lottery Commission (who were probably thrilled to have someone to talk to), the woman learned that she had matched all the winning numbers and was the proud owner of a cool $1 million.
When asked what she planned to do with her newfound wealth, the winner exclaimed, “Well, first things first, I’m buying a new Tupperware set – one that actually gets used! And then, I’m going on a shopping spree, and maybe even investing in a few more lottery tickets. You know, just in case I forget about them again!”
The Oregon Lottery Commission has released a statement saying, “We are thrilled to have another winner in Oregon! And we urge all our players to check their Tupperware containers, just in case they’ve forgotten about a winning ticket or two.”
In related news, local Tupperware sales have reportedly skyrocketed, and Google searches for “how to remember to check my lottery tickets” have reached an all-time high.
