Couple's horror as their two dogs eat winning lottery ticket - ripping it to shreds

A couple have cashed in their lottery winnings - despite their two dogs shredding the ticket into pieces. Nathan and Rachael Lamet, from Salem, Massachusetts, US, sent the damaged ticket to the Lottery with a note and guilty picture of their pooches.

The pair fell lucky when a personnel was able to fit the chewed pieces back together and confirmed their winning numbers. A statement released by the company reads: "Officials at the Oregon Lottery have seen lottery tickets in many different states. Washed in a pair of jeans, dropped in a mud puddle, and even run over by cars. But earlier this week was a first.
