Mildred Simoneriluto is desperately looking for a winning lottery ticket. Simoneriluto is just a few weeks away from collecting her win after misplacing the $2.5 million lottery ticket she purchased last spring.
It will expire on May 8, but if claimed, Simoneriluto may not be the one to cash it in.

The Pennsylvania woman bought the lottery ticket at the Murrysville Shop n’ Save last May. According to Simoneriluto, she put the ticket in her jacket.
When she later realized that she was having the winning ticket, she went to get the ticket out of the jacket but it was missing.
It was among the clothes she had donated to the Vietnam Veterans of America the week before. A company named Pickup Please collected those items.
“I was stupefied. There’s no words for it. It was beyond expression,” Simoneriluto told Fox8Live. “How can I get it back?”
Simoneriluto said she was told that clothes contributions are sent all around the country and around the world.
“I went back to Shop n’ Save maybe a hundred times and they said there’s nothing they could do,” Simoneriluto said.
According to lottery officials, she must possess the winning ticket.
“What else can I do? Cry out loud and hope that something will happen positive on my end,” Simoneriluto expressed.
Despite her optimism, she is aware that her chances of receiving her winning ticket back are slim.
Meanwhile, someone somewhere in the world has a $2.5 million Pennsylvania Cash 5 lottery ticket with the numbers 14, 22, 33, 35, and 38.
