<p>Brown forgot about it after some days. "After the first few drawings, I'd check my ticket. Then I just kind of forgot about it and wasn't checking," Brown told the Oregon Lottery. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In February, Brown once again visited Moose Lodge. When he got his ticket scanned by the server. It said, "Large Lottery Winner." &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Brown and his friends checked online to find out that he had won the $8.9 million jackpot. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The lucky numbers of Brown were 15, 33, 34, 40, 42, and 47, as per the Oregon Lottery. Brown chose the 30-year annuity option for the winnings. He will get a cheque of slightly over $200,000 after taxes every year until the prize gets paid out. &nbsp;</p>
