It was almost the mistake of her life.

Melissa Dean bought a lottery ticket at a store in Novi. She thought the ticket was a loser and told the clerk to just toss it out, according to ClickOnDetroit.com.

The clerk took a closer look and noticed it was a 100-thousand dollar winner.

Now Dean has a new car, is going on vacation, and she'll invest the rest.
