The widow of a 79-year-old man cashed in his winning lottery ticket, only to discover it was worth $10 million!

Donald Peters bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets on Nov. 1 from a local 7-Eleven. He later suffered a fatal heart attack at his home.

Charlotte Peters cashed in one of the nearly discarded tickets last week for a grand total of $10 million.
