Yeah . . . this isn't going to happen to you. Last week, Irving Przyborski (--priz bore skee) of Chicago sat down to do his taxes and opened up his folder of receipts. As he sorted through them, he found a lottery ticket from the March 24, 2010 Powerball drawing in there. He checked the numbers on the ticket and . . . yep, it was a jackpot winner. Irving had just won $9 MILLION. (--On the down side, that probably made his taxes a hell of a lot more complicated.) It gets even crazier. The ticket was less than ONE WEEK away from hitting its one-year expiration date . . . if Irving hadn't found the ticket and claimed his prize, the money would've gone to the Illinois schools. The horror! According to a lottery spokesman, Irving is a, quote, "quiet, laid back" guy who didn't even seem that excited about his win . . . or how close he came to missing out on his money.
