She really cleaned up.

A resident of Germany who recently stumbled across a 2-year-old lottery ticket as she tidied her house for Christmas was stunned to discover she won about $110,000, according to local media reports.

The unidentified Magdeburg woman had played the Lotterie Super 6 in February 2021 — she reportedly put the ticket in a desk drawer and forgot all about it.

She had spent about $44 playing the same six digits for four weeks.

“I cannot believe it. It feels like rediscovering a forgotten treasure,” the winner said as she revealed that vacationing is on her to-do list.

Lottery officials reported that the ticket was in pristine condition when they received it.

2021 winnings totaling more than $660,000 have not yet been claimed in Saxony-Anhalt, officials said.

In that German state, prizes from 2021 can be claimed until Dec. 31, 2024.

“This was the only six-figure winning amount that was currently open for such a long time,” Lotto-Toto Sachsen-Anhalt director Stefan Ebert explained to Der Spiegel.

In the US, the winner of the largest Mega Millions jackpot in history has been revealed to be a Delaware limited liability company.

Saltines Holdings, LLC claimed the $1.58 billion prize in September, opting to receive a one-time, lump-sum payment of $794.2 million.

And in New York, a Brooklyn man won $10 million on a scratch-off in December — a little over a year after he won his first $10 million playing the New York Lottery.
