«Breaking News» Couple credit their dog's picky eating for their £1m lottery win after buying scratchcard on a whim

A couple say they have their dog's picky eating habits to thank for helping them win £1 million on a National Lottery scratchcard.

Patrick Morling had made a special trip to the supermarket to buy their pet's favourite meal when he decided on a whim to buy the winning Monopoly Classic card.

Now the 60-year-old and his wife, Paula, 54, from Havant, Hampshire, are planning around-the-world holidays to celebrate.

And Ollie, a nine-year-old springer-staffy cross, is set to get a new bed as a thank you.

Patrick Morling, 60, and his wife Paula, 54, from Havant, Hampshire won £1million on a National Lottery scratchcard 

Mr Morling had made a special trip to the supermarket to buy their pet's favourite meal when he decided on a whim to buy the winning Monopoly Classic card

Mr Morling, a storeman for a paper cup company, said: 'We'd already done our big shop earlier in the day but Ollie is very particular about his food so I had to go to a different store to stock up for him.

'As I was leaving, I decided on a whim to buy a scratchcard.

'I do like to play them from time to time and normally it's a £2 one, but for some reason I decided to treat myself to the £5 Monopoly Classic.

'When I'd finished playing I got back in the queue and waited my turn before I handed it over to the sales assistant and asked her to verify it was actually a £1 Million winning scratchcard.

'Let me tell you, it created quite a disturbance in the store and I thoroughly enjoyed the hugs and pats on the back I received from the other shoppers who I think were in more shock than me.'

He explained that he had made the trip to the Asda supermarket in Havant because it was the only store locally where he could buy the 24-pack of Butcher's chunks in jelly tins.

Describing how they planned to spend their winnings, Mr Morling said that they intended to buy their dream home and had offered to pay for their youngest daughter's wedding and the deposit for their other daughter's house.

He added: 'We have always wanted to go to New Zealand and had promised ourselves this trip for our 30th wedding anniversary earlier this year, but finances just wouldn't allow it.

Now couple are planning around-the-world holidays to celebrate. And Ollie, a nine-year-old springer-Staffy cross, is set to get a new bed

Ollie will get a new bed thanks to his role in the big win - and his owners - Mrs Morling, a lunchtime supervisor and Mr Morling, a storeman - will go on a once-in-a-lifetime trip

'Looks like instead we can do that trip for our 31st.

'Paula has family in Canada she has never met so that may be another trip, or perhaps we'll save the back and forth and just go around the world instead.

'It really is magic. Who would have thought that a trip to buy Ollie's dog food would have resulted in us chatting about paying for weddings, round the world trips and buying dream homes.'

And as for Ollie, Mrs Morling, a school lunchtime supervisor, said: 'He will get lots of special treats and we may buy him a nice little bed.'

Mr Morling added: 'I might treat him to a new Bonio. He will live his lifestyle like we have lived ours but he's never been a spoilt dog.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
