Always check the spam folder – that’s the lesson learned by a Michigan woman who nearly missed out on a $3 million lottery prize.
55-year-old Laura Spears bought a Mega Millions ticket back on Dec. 31st, but had no idea she’d won – until she was searching through her email spam folder and found a notification from the Michigan Lottery.
Spears plans to use the money to retire early and help out her family – and plans to check her spam folder even more frequently from now on, just in case.
I almost NEVER check my Spam folder. Any time that I thought I’ve missed an email and I check it, I always get disappointed. I’ll start checking more often now, especially if I play the Lottery!
