Pensioners spend last $11 on lotto ticket and win big
A couple from Western Australia who were on the verge of losing their home, rolled the dice (so to speak), spent their last $11 on a lotto ticket and won big.
The Port Kennedy couple, aged in their 60s, became overnight millionaires after buying the country’s only division one winning lotto ticket.
The couple were doing it tough and were set to sell their home because they couldn't afford the mortgage repayments. Then the woman (unnamed) had a dream that she had won the lotto, so her husband spent their last bit of change on a ticket.
Now the couple are set to take home $1 million.
The owner of the store from where the ticket was bought knew the couple was having money troubles and was happy to hear they were now millionaires.
“It couldn’t have gone to a more deserving couple,” he said.
Ain't life grand sometimes?
Good on them, :)
Why can't I have dreams like that?
In a houseful of blokes, I dream the kitchen will be spotless, and the seat down in the loo...
but I carry on dreaming...!
