A woman who was dumped by her disloyal husband for her best friend saw her bad luck turn into good fortune after she won a double lottery jackpot in Colombia. The anonymous gambler from Barranquilla secured a £268,000 jackpot from two lottery tickets which have solved all of her financial problems.
The wronged wife got the last laugh after she received a 'flirtatious' phone call from her ex-partner to congratulate her on the win and she unsurprisingly gave him a quick brush off, the Mirror reports. It's been revealed the mother was close to losing her home when she decided to purchase the lottery tickets by the firm Supergiros where you only get the jackpot by winning two draws which is considered highly unlikely.
Yet that day, she had the winning ticket 8628 in the El Siunano lottery and 1935 in the Caribbean night draw. Local media outlet Zona Cero reported that she was a seamstress and was only days away from being evicted from her home as she couldn't afford the mortgage.
