Tupperware containers are known for keeping leftovers fresh, but for Leslie Carr, 52, of Portland, her trusty Tupperware held something even more valuable—a winning $1 million Powerball ticket! Talk about sealing the deal on a lucky find!
In a delightful twist of fate, Leslie stumbled upon the golden ticket while rummaging through her collection of old lottery tickets. It was nestled snugly among the others, just waiting to be discovered like a hidden treasure in a pantry full of possibilities.

She Had No Idea She Was the Winner
"I had no idea I was the winner," Leslie exclaimed, her excitement palpable. "If it weren't for the billion-dollar Powerball winner making headlines, I would've forgotten. We don't check our tickets," she confessed, emphasizing the sheer serendipity of the moment.
The winning Powerball ticket, drawn on March 15, had been quietly biding its time, patiently awaiting its grand reveal. And when the store clerk scanned it, confirming its million-dollar status, Leslie felt a flutter of excitement akin to the pop of a Tupperware lid.
"I heard him say, 'Oh, I can't cash this because your prize is worth over $1,000,'" Leslie recalled, her heart dancing with anticipation. "That's when I started getting butterflies," she added, her joy overflowing like a container filled to the brim with good fortune.

With her newfound windfall, Leslie plans to embark on a journey of dreams fulfilled. From paying off her and her husband's mortgage to splurging on a shiny new truck and booking a sun-soaked trip to Hawaii, the possibilities are as endless as the leftovers in a Tupperware buffet.
According to the Oregon Lottery's website, players like Leslie have a 1 in 250,000 chance of hitting the million-dollar jackpot—the kind of odds that make winning feel like finding the last slice of pie at a potluck. And with hundreds of other prizes up for grabs, it's clear that when it comes to the Oregon Lottery Raffle, every ticket truly is a ticket to tantalizing Tupperware triumphs!
