The woman said it wasn’t until she visited a store to check a different Powerball ticket that she found the forgotten slip of paper in her purse and decided to scan it.
The ticket, which had spent more than a month in her bag, turned out to be a $50,000 winner.
“I am just so grateful and happy,” the winner said.
She said some of the money will go toward paying off her student loans.
“It’s a good present for me,” she said.
Ice Prince Zamani has been ordered to remain in custody at the Ikoyi Correctional Center by a magistrate court in Ajah, Lagos.
The rapper was charged on Friday for allegedly kidnapping an officer by the Lagos State Police Command.
When the accusations were read to the defendant in court, he entered a plea of not guilty.
He was granted bail in the amount of N500,000 by Magistrate Taiwo Oyaniyi, who also required the production of two sureties.
Until he complies with the bail requirements, Ice Prince will be held in custody. The discussion was postponed until September 7.
The police said the music star, real name Panshak Henry Zamani, was stopped at about 3am for driving without license plates.
Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin noted that he agreed to be taken to the station.
