A lucky couple who scooped £1 million on a lottery scratchcard bought when rushing to buy cat food are now 'squids in'. It comes after they launched an exotic fish and chip business.
Andrew and Paula Hancock thanked their cat Shortcake for their newfound fortune after buying the winning ticket at their local petrol station. The couple had forgotten the cat's dinner but Andrew picked up a Monopoly Millionaire Scratchcard instead after popping to the shops.
After their big win in 2019, the couple, from Boughton, Nottinghamshire, sold their catering business but have now splashed the cash on a fish and chip van. Along with traditional cod and haddock suppers, the couple also sell more exotic specials like squid and oysters in the villages near their home.
