Cape Coral Powerball Ticket Wins $1 Million — So Check the Junk Drawer

Someone in Cape Coral may be having a considerably better week than the rest of us.

The Palm Beach Post reported that a Powerball ticket sold in Cape Coral won $1 million in the Aug. 12 drawing. The billion-dollar jackpot itself went to a single ticket sold in Illinois, while Florida was one of several states with a $1 million Match 5 winner. 

So somewhere around Cape Coral, there may currently be a person casually going about their day with a piece of paper worth $1,000,000 sitting in:

• a wallet
• a glove box
• a kitchen drawer
• yesterday’s pants
• or underneath six Publix receipts

Cape Crazy Translation

Powerball:

“Congratulations, Cape Coral. Someone here won $1 million.”

Every resident:

“WHERE DID I PUT THAT TICKET?”

Illinois winner:

“I won the billion.”

Cape Coral:

“Nobody asked you.”

The winning numbers for the Aug. 12 drawing were 4, 26, 66, 67, 69 and Powerball 9. 

So if those numbers look familiar, stop reading Cape Crazy for approximately 30 seconds and go check your ticket.

We’ll still be here.

IS THIS CRAZY OR NOT?

A $1 million Powerball ticket was sold in Cape Coral, and there’s always a chance the winner hasn’t even realized it yet.

Or just the best reason ever to clean out the center console?
