Teen told to clean his room finds winning lotto ticket A teenager in Scotland who was told to clean his room last month discovered more than just dirty socks: He found 12 lottery tickets, among them, a winner. STV in Scotland reported that after his mother nagged him for weeks, Ryan Kitchin, of Penicuik, discovered the stub but didn't know he had picked a lucky combination of five numbers and the bonus ball for the Feb. 8 draw. "I was about to bin them but at the last minute I got this strange feeling that I should get them checked," Kitchin, 19, told the Telegraph of London. Instead, he brought the tickets to Tesco, the supermarket store where he works part time. At work, a colleague checked the numbers and named him a winner -- although Kitchin couldn't tell how much he was about to pocket. A call to the lottery operator Camelot revealed that he won £52,981, or $83,781. "I had to phone up Camelot and the woman was asking me lots of questions, and I just wanted her to get to the point," he said, according to the Mirror. When I gave her the last number of the serial code, she said I had won £52,981. I just couldn't believe it. Kitchin's plans? To pay off his car loan and take his mom on a much-needed vacation.
