Last year a family in Wales won a £61.1 million jackpot after feeling like it was their lucky moment.
Sandra Davies told her daughter to buy a ticket after having a successful operation in the US to remove a tumour on her parathyroid gland, after her partner decided they must be on a winning streak.
"He was convinced that we were the luckiest people on the planet and definitely on a winning streak after the success of my op so we called up my daughter, Courtney, to ask her to go and buy a ticket,” Ms Davies said.
