Couple's Lotto luck

A Welsh couple had a run of three lucky lottery wins in one week, ending in a £2.5 million jackpot.

First, deputy headteacher Jenny Cooper won £10 and used it to buy lucky dip lottery lines and scratchcards.

One of the scratchcards won her another pound which she used to buy one more lucky dip Lotto ticket.

And that ticket landed them a lottery jackpot of £2,470,696, reports the Mirror.

Jenny, 49, husband Gareth, 54, and their daughter Hannah, 17, are now planning how to spend their new-found wealth.

Gareth, who had to retire from his factory job through ill health, has vowed to buy a farmhouse, a luxury car and jet off on a dream holiday.

He said: "We have struggled all our lives but now we can taste the pleasures of life. Things were tough when I had to retire but now it's time to enjoy the good life that money can bring."

A fellow told me once that your chances of winning one are only slightly increased by buying a ticket...
