If he had lost his ticket he'd probably have sold his story to the media. Such an amazing headline would probably be front page news. They'd probly even make a film about it. Then they'd be rich anyway.
Either that or this is a lame news story that anyone could make up but I'm going with the first description.

Portuguese people are so desperate about financial crisis that i can't even imagine something like this to happen in Portugal. Only in nightmares. I believe that there are some, like me, that even keep the ticket for more than one week in the wallet, so that later we can see again if we really lost or if we look bad the first time

.. Man - you'd be so anxious if you accidentally threw out a 9Meuro ticket that 14 people were counting on.. Out of 14 people one of them would have to be crazy enough to do something.

Where would you put your lottery ticket if you won that would be...SAFE!!!! Safe being the mani word here....I used to dream often of winning the lottery and having it washed in the washing machine lolol Now that would really hurt. In New Zealand if you lose a ticket you can write out a claim form, So what I did was Photo Copied it at the lotto shop so that I had all the details if the ticket ever got lost just to be safe. LOL Lucky guy well done to him for finding it and not ending up in a Coffin.
