#GoodNews There are still GOOD people in this world! "After hours of sifting through refuse, a worker's hand landed on the missing ticket just before dawn." I hope those workers will get a form of "finders fee" for their heroic effort. Kudos to Roberto Nicola Toscano, managing director Sanb 💙

After a lotto player in southern Italy mistakenly dumped a €1 million ticket, refuse workers searched through trash overnight to save the life-changing win.
