Meet the luckiest man alive.

For starters Peter McCathie is lucky to be alive after being struck by lightning aged 14. His daughter's pretty fortunate after a lightening bolt struck her too. But what makes this Canadian father even more blessed is the fact he's just scooped a $1m jackpot on the Canadian lottery (that's £494,000 in good old sterling). https://twitter.com/AL_Lottery/status/623139249618087936 To put that into perspective, scientists says there's literally a one in 2.6 trillion (2,600,000,000,000) of all that happening. There's more chance of Spurs winning the Premier League. If anyone wants us, we'll be on the roof waving a metal rod at the sky. H/T Daily Mirror
