A woman who was dumped by her husband for her best friend saw her bad luck dramatically end as she won a double lottery jackpot in Colombia.
The unnamed punter, from Barranquilla, has won £268,000 from two lottery tickets which have sorted out her financial problems.
While the punter was in the middle of celebrating the cash windfall, she incredibly received a “flirtatious” call from her ex-partner to congratulate her on the win.

Unsurprisingly she gave him a quick brush off.
The woman was close to losing her home when she decided to buy lottery tickets by the firm Supergiros - where you get the jackpot by winning two draws - which is considered almost impossible.
Yet she had the winning ticket 8628 in the El Sinuano lottery and 1935 in the Caribbean night draw.
While not publishing her name, local media outlet Zona Cero has told how she was a seamstress and was days away from losing her home as she could not afford to pay the mortgage.
And her daughter had not been able to register in the latest term at university due to a lack of money.
As a last hope, the woman bought the ticket on January 17 which was by chance also a year to the day that her husband had left her for her best friend which had also left her in trouble financially.
She was reportedly “trembling” when she found out that she had won the huge amount of money which was one of the biggest ever jackpots claimed in the South American country where the average monthly salary is £800.
It is also believed to be the biggest amount ever won in the Supergiros lottery that she took part in.
Meanwhile, someone's weekend could be about to go with quite a bang after the latest EuroMillions draw was made.
