Lottery winner scoops huge cash prize – but goes back to bed so he doesn't disturb wife

A laidback lottery player realised he had won nearly £60,000 when he woke up in the morning - but ended up going back to bed.

Stan Ismond won the huge prize but said he didn't want to wake his wife with his wild celebrations, so he finished a couple of chores before returning to his fleecy pillow for a lie-in himself.

The lucky man, who lives in the rural village of Abernethy in Saskatchewan, Canada, scooped $100,000 (£58,700) in the lottery draw.
