Here’s your sign to finally clean out your closet.
Alfreda Hawkins, of Richmond, Virginia, was going through that unenviable task when she found a long-forgotten box containing unscratched lottery tickets. She then got to scratching — and discovered that one ticket was a winner for $100,000.
“I almost passed out!” Hawkins tells lottery officials. “It was amazing!”
