Oregon Man Finds Lotto Ticket Worth $2.6M While Cleaning His Car
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}It took five months, but a Portland man has come forward to claim a $2.6 million Megabucks jackpot.
A lottery spokesman says Gordon Carnese bought a $5 Quick Pick ticket for the Dec. 8 drawing, and it included the winning numbers of 5-9-10-12-42-46.
Carnese buys Megabucks tickets on a regular basis, but doesn't always check the numbers right away. He recently brought a handful of tickets to a retailer after cleaning out the glove box in his car.

Carnese claimed his prize last week. He chose 25 annual payments instead of a lump sum.
