A few months ago Iwas checking my lottery ticket off the computer very early one Sunday morning.

By habit I wrote the winning numbers along the top of the Lotto ticket to check against my line.

My cat was crying to be fed so I left the ticket and went down to the kitchen to give him his Felix (sorry for advertising)
Then I let him out and made myself a cup of tea, which I fetched back upstairs to the computer. I wasn't yet wide awake.
I returned to checking my Lotto numbers.
I had already wrote the winners on the ticket. I started checking from the computer to the written down numbers.

Of course I had all six.!! I checked it half a dozen times in disbelief befor waking my wife to tell her WE'VE WON THE LOTTERY

I had to repeat it twice as she's a bit deef.

The neighbours were phoning the news around before I realised my mistake.
