Quite the lucky day!
Anthony and Antonietta Marrocco must be doing something right...
From Canadian news service
CANOE:
Couple wins casino jackpot and lottery in same night
Luck struck twice for a couple from Caledon, Ont., in just one hour after they won a casino jackpot then a lottery jackpot.
Anthony and Antonietta Marrocco won $13,000 at Casino Rama in Orillia, Ont., Saturday night.
After that, Antonietta Marrocco predicted their luck would continue and told her husband they would win the lottery.
An hour later, the winning numbers for the $37-million Lotto 6/49 jackpot were drawn - and the Marroccos held one of two winning tickets.
That's more than $18.5 million in winnings for the couple, who own a construction company.
The Marroccos say with the money they will pay off debts, take care of their four children and three grandchildren and consider taking a holiday.
Heh -- good for them! Canadian lotteries work a bit different than the ones in the States. Ticket prices can be $50 and above but the actual number of tickets sold is a lot smaller and the prizes are spectacular. Many of them are for charitable organizations --
Here is one,
Here is another.
