Getting a chance to bet on the lottery is as exciting as winning the jackpot itself. Of course, the chances of winning are higher the more bets one makes. A Massachusetts woman must have felt really lucky when she mysteriously received a FedEx package with $20,000 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets inside, New York Post reported.

While the misdelivered lottery tickets offered Danielle Alexandrov many chances of winning big cash, the package was intended for Kenyon's Market in the Cape Cod town of Falmouth.

"These tickets, until they're activated by a retail agent, there's really no value to them," Christian Teja of the Massachusetts State Lottery told WCVB, according to NYP.

"If someone tried to take one of these tickets, if it was a winning ticket, brought it to a retail location, there would be a message that would flag it, and they'd be unable to cash the ticket," Teja pointed out, according to NYP.

Alexandrov returned the tickets to the package consignee.

Meanwhile, winning the $1.35-billion Mega Millions lottery jackpot in January posed a new problem for a Maine man. More concerning to the American was not how to spend the huge windfall but how to keep his multimillionaire status private for his personal safety.

Two weeks before the man claimed the prize in February, he signed a non-disclosure agreement with  the mother of his daughter requiring her to keep his lottery win a secret until their daughter turned 18 in June 2032, and to inform him within 24 hours if she violated the agreement, Fox News reported.

The man agreed to support the mother and provide her with other resources in exchange for her signing the NDA, according to Fox News.

The NDA was signed but the man identified only as John Doe is now taking legal action against the woman for not notifying him that she had revealed the win to his father and stepmother over the phone, LotteryPost.com reported.

The news then made it to his sister, and now more people may know of his lottery win.

John Doe is seeking damages from his daughter's mother, identified in the lawsuit as "Sara Smith," for revealing the win and potentially jeopardizing his identity and safety, Fox News said.

The man is also asking the mother to reveal who else she told about his lottery win and is seeking at least $100,000 for each time she violated the NDA, as well as attorney's fees and court costs, according to Fox News.
