Dog finds winning lottery ticket
champagne
"We both burst into tears when we saw that the second ticket was also a winner."
Couple scoop £300K in double win
 
A couple who won nearly £150,000 on the EuroMillions lottery have doubled their money after their dog found a second winning ticket for the same amount.

Jane and Alan Slater matched five numbers and the lucky star in the draw held on Tuesday, 29 September.

But their luck didn't end there - a few days later, Mrs Slater had taken her dogs Ruby and Kai for a walk, and when they got back in the car, Ruby disturbed a second winning ticket for another £150,000.

Mr Slater had bought the second ticket, not realising his wife had already bought the first. It had then been tucked into a catalogue and forgotten about.

The pair had been playing the lottery for 20 years, using the same numbers each time.

Commenting on their win, Mr Slater is quoted by The Telegraph as saying: "We both burst into tears when we saw that the second ticket was also a winner…

"The ticket could so easily have disappeared in the rubbish when I tidied up the car, we couldn't help but feel that someone was looking down on us."
