Lucky Winner Forgets Lottery Ticket in a Shopping Cart
The visitor of a retail shopping chain in Cambridge, UK, found multiple lottery tickets as well as a wining check forgotten in a shopping cart
Winning the lottery regardless of the amount brings excitement to everyone who gambles. Only recently, one lucky winner forgot their ticket in a shopping cart. Luckily, the ticket was uncovered by an honest man that now wants to return it to its owner.
Big Lottery Prize Forgotten in a Shopping Cart
Just after Christmas, Richard Haslop, an honest citizen living in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK, was visiting the famous grocery retail chain Tesco. This is when he saw a shopping cart that had multiple lottery tickets, as well as a cheque forgotten by a person named Barry Levett.
As an honest citizen, Haslop took the ticket and is now trying to find its owner. In a post on social media, Haslop revealed that the winning cheque was found in a trolley and that he wants to return it to the owner. Seeking at avoiding impostors, the man explained that he would give the tickets only to a person that can give a detailed description regarding the tickets.
“Cambridge folk – Anyone know a Barry Levett? – reason I ask is that my wife found a number of lottery tickets (which also included a winning cheque made out to Barry hence why we know a name) in a Tesco’s trolley and we wish to return to him,“
reads a statement released via social media by Richard Haslop
In a recent interview for ITV News Anglia, Haslop pointed out that there were a total of six lottery tickets in the shopping cart. The tickets from the National Lottery and Euro Lotto, he explained, were “all with a number of lines on them, and we found them in a trolley outside the store.” The man tried contacting customer services but due to a queue, he decided to go on social media and try to find the lucky owner of the tickets.
Although the sum of the winning cheque wasn’t disclosed, Haslop said that it was of “significant value.” Last but not least, the honest man said that he is sure that Barry, the lucky winner, would want this money in his account.

Some day you will be blessed for the good you do. Now hang over the ticket!!! I’m a joker and hope and pray you have common sense. Stay good and strong cause I know I can live good with people like you around my life. Thats the big Lotto win there.

I’m more excited for you than the actual owner of the ticket. God IS going to bless you way more than the value of that ticket. 🎟
I live in the USA and I’m offended that someone would say that this would not happen in the USA. I for one would be looking for this person

God bless you sir…. im sure he will also reciprocate after you trying so hard to find him or her….. if not. I guess after about 6 months it would be in my bank. If he or she ever appears. There it will be.
I agree with Bonnie, I’m another from the USA and I would try to find rightful owner.
