ROME (Reuters) - An Italian retiree felt faint and had to be taken to a hospital when he realized he had forgotten to hand in a lottery ticket that could have won him a 66-million-euro (dollar) jackpot of a lifetime.
He was so busy organizing his daughter's wedding that he forgot to take his slip to the lottery office when Europe's biggest-ever jackpot was up for grabs last week.
When he realized he had guessed the correct six-figure number, he felt faint and had to be admitted to a hospital near Rome, Italian news agencies said Tuesday. He was discharged two hours later.
