    A Hamilton woman's richer by 10-and-a half-million-dollars - after finding a forgotten winning Powerball ticket

    A Hamilton woman's richer by 10-and-a half-million-dollars - after finding a forgotten winning Powerball ticket


    She bought the ticket at Glenview Centre Lotto and Post before heading away on holiday - and discovered it while rummaging through her handbag.

    The woman - who wants to remain anonymous - says she started shaking like a leaf, when she checked it and found she was a first division winner.

    She says she hasn't made any plans yet.
