The Bowling Green couple found out in November that they had won $50,000 but couldn't find the ticket they had purchased about a week before, the Kentucky Lottery said in a news release. “I’ve been beating myself up for three months thinking I threw this ticket away,” his wife said. “I don’t know how long it might have sat out there if I hadn’t needed the car,” Perdue said. “I was shaking a little bit.”He told his wife and the next day they went to lottery headquarters, where they received a check for $36,000 after taxes, the lottery statement said.
