Two friends thought they got really lucky at the lottery.
A rollercoaster ride of emotions begins when you take a second look at the ticket.
When two people play the lottery together, it certainly brings some people together.
Especially when you win, the joy is twice as great.
Of course, it depends a bit on the sum, in order to perhaps fulfill a small dream.
Two lottery players from Great Britain can probably sing a song about it.
A nurse, 60, and a retired construction worker, 67, have shared a British lottery ticket.
The two followed the drawing of the winning numbers together, as
reported by the British tabloid
The Sun.
Marion was standing in the living room and calling the numbers on her ticket to Michael in the kitchen.
He compared the numbers on his computer.

Michael then yelled “yes” five times.
Matched five main numbers on the ticket.
Fortuna was kind to both of them.
The nurse thought they had won £1,000.
But then there was a call from the kitchen: "Can you please come here?"

In addition to the five main numbers, the bonus number also matched!
The two lottery friends discovered they had won £1million - the equivalent of more than €1.8million.
The two kept going through the numbers.
"It's a million, it's a million." The two are actually a million pounds richer.
The jackpot for the two lucky guys incomprehensible.
"I'm a big tea drinker so we had a cup of tea and sat in stunned silence trying to process what had just happened," the nurse told
The Sun.
Particularly grueling: Since the drawing was late in the evening, she had to wait until the next day to confirm her victory.
She kept the lottery ticket like a treasure until the check with her name was presented.
Nurse Marion wants to continue working in her job, even if it has been a bit difficult lately because of Covid.
She still wants to treat herself to something special that will remind her of this incredible prize.
Maybe a little gem.
Her boyfriend Michael is considering buying a car again after 41 years.

Hit a jackpot once - yes, that would be it.
A lottery player from NRW has 7.5 million euros at the beginning of the year!
How he came up with the winning numbers is insane.
Many lottery players hope for great luck.
