This is just a feel good story with no substance. If she bought tickets on her phone with the lottery app it means she's already an avid player. Considering she plays often it's purely a coincidence that she won. Unfortunately, such a dry and cut logic wouldn't make for an interesting news story lol.

Stanbridge knew of the superstition and pulled out her phone to buy a Set for Life ticket on the Lottery's mobile app.

Can you play any US State Lottery online

Change of plans. Am done with trying to rescue some stranded kitten. Have not found any.

Now am catching the next flight to the United Kingdom - money spiders - here I come - you better make my journey worth the while.

Oops, one thing before I leave, I got to download the App

Congratulations and may you live to be a hundred.

I love the way they chose to splurge their new found wealth - new bed and a new air frier.

LOL. I too hate spiders but grew up with some of these superstitions about not killing them. Somehow feels more humane to vacuum them than squish them.

Good job Doris.
