Feeling lucky?
A Michigan woman says a 100-thousand dollar lottery win was just icing on the cake after an already unusually lucky day. The 60-year-old woman said she decided to buy the Bonus Cashword scratch-off ticket after a series of lucky events that day.
She said first she went to the eye doctor where she found out she didn't need to buy new contact lenses, then she was able to finish yard work in half the time that was expected. She then lost her cellphone, but found it laying in the middle of the road unscathed.
All these lucky events convinced her to buy the winning lottery ticket. The woman plans to buy a new house with the funds. And by the way? Neither she nor the lottery have revealed her identity.

A Florida family says teen hadn't come out of her coma in five weeks until therapy Labradoodle Fergie spent some time with her.
A Florida family says they have Fergie to thank after their teen daughter woke up from a coma lasting weeks… and by Fergie, they don’t mean the pop star, they mean a therapy Labradoodle by the same name.
The family of Farrah Fox spent five weeks in a coma after she was in a car crash in Delray Beach that left her with a severe brain injury. But it wasn't until Fergie the therapy dog came to visit her for a cuddle session one day, that she suddenly woke up. “We don’t know if it was Fergie," says says family friend Mary Cullinan (who's also Fergie's human). "Or just time."
Now, Farrah still can’t speak or walk, but Cullinan says that they’ve seen a bigger response from her when Fergie’s in the room. “She just has this connection with her,” she notes. Doctors aren’t sure how long Fox’s recovery will be – they say it could take up to two years of rehab. We wish her well!
