Lottery Ticket Found

From a story in The Detroit News:

A year ago, prompted by a dream about his deceased parents, a Detroit father of two bought a pair of lottery tickets, stuck them in the pocket of his new coat and promptly forgot about them...That day, for the first time, he was wearing a leather coat that his wife had given him as a gift. Truth be told, he didn't care for the jacket. He stashed the tickets in the pocket, hung the coat in a hall closet and didn't give it another thought. His wife recently bought him a second jacket, but it still wasn't to his liking. So on Jan. 2, she told him to fish the second jacket out of the closet so she could return it. He told lottery workers that he was drawn, for reasons he couldn't explain, to the first leather jacket. Checking the pockets, he found the tickets, noticed they were about to expire and headed back to the store to compare his numbers -- 4, 5, 7, 10, 21 and 23 -- with the year-old winning numbers...Today, he's $573,815 richer after he and his wife showed up unannounced at lunchtime Monday at the Michigan Lottery headquarters to collect what had been billed as a $1.5 million winner. Had he appeared 4 1/2 hours later, the ticket would have been worthless...The nervous couple drove to Lansing on Monday to pick up their jackpot, opting for the one-time payout rather than the 30-year, $50,000-a-year installment option.
