A woman in the US who accidentally threw out a one million dollar lottery ticket eventually collected her winnings thanks to the kindness and honesty of the owners of the shop where she bought it.

Lea Rose Fiega bought the 30 dollar Diamond Millions scratchcard in March at the Lucky Stop convenience store in Southwick, Massachusetts, near where she works.
