Luck strikes three times

Jenny Cooper was lucky enough to win £10 playing the UK National Lottery’s Lotto game a couple of weeks ago. She cashed in her prize and bought some more lottery tickets and some scratchcards. One of the scratchcards won a £1 so Jenny bought another lucky dip lottery ticket for the Wednesday 19 April 2006 draw and she won the jackpot of £2,470,696.

Jenny Cooper, her husband Gareth and daughter Hannah live in Cwmbran, Gwent and are Wales’ third jackpot winners this year. As all good lottery players should, they plan to buy a farmhouse, a luxury car, VIP sporting event tickets, and jet off on a dream holiday to Barbados. Gareth is already retired, but Deputy Headteacher Jenny plans to carry on working.

On the day that Gareth checked his lottery ticket, Jenny had been on the phone to the gas company to query a large bill they had just received, but now, a mega shopping trip is planned instead. With their numbers of 3,9,33,44,47 and 49 the couple plan to let their five dogs join in the luxury living they are looking forward to for the whole family in the future.
