A lost wallet that had money and credit cards has been reunited with a resident who lost it nearly 20 years ago, reports upi.com
Police in Tallaght, County Dublin, said a member of the public came into the station Tuesday to hand in a mystery wallet they found.
“It appeared to have been buried a long time,” police said in a Facebook post.
The wallet’s contents included a Visa credit card and a student ID dated June 2001.
Police said they searched the name on the cards in their database and were able to contact the wallet’s owner, who said the item had been missing for two decades.
Investigators said it was a “20-year-old mystery solved in 24 hours.”
Elsewhere in Ontario a woman who scored a lottery jackpot worth more than $750,000 told officials her winning numbers came to her in a dream.
Deborah Rose, 64, of Thorold, told Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. officials she bought her ticket for the Lotto Max drawing from Avondale in Port Colborne and selected her own set of lucky numbers that she has been playing ever since the digits came to her in a dream.
Rose visited lottery headquarters this week to collect her prize and recalled she “wasn’t having a very good day” when she checked her ticket for the July 28 drawing.
“But it surely made my day when I saw the Big Winner message appear,” Rose said. “I remember saying ‘What?’ And then started crying.”
