Ricardo Cerezo, of Geneva, Ill., got an extremely sweet surprise after looking in his cookie jar recently.

"I can't believe I had $4.85 million in a cookie jar for over three months," Cerezo told the Geneva Patch, after rediscovering several old Lottery tickets he had kept in the jar for safe keeping.

With their earnings, Cerezo and his wife plan to pay off their mortgage, take care of extra bills and share a portion of the winnings with their son and daughter. They also want to donate to their church and favorite charities.

"It is very important to us that we help others with this money," Cerezo said.
