A 67-year-old Baltimore, Maryland woman recently claimed a $50,000 Powerball jackpot two months after her cat hid her winning ticket.

The woman tells Maryland Lottery officials, “When I buy Lottery tickets, I never watch the drawings or even check to see if I won until a few days later.”

“What I didn’t know is that after my cat knocked some papers off my nightstand, a few of my tickets ended up falling behind my bed. I didn’t see the additional papers behind my bed until I did some spring cleaning. To my surprise, one of them was a winner!”
