When you get that feeling you must know it’s an important one, because while many ignore it, or push it aside, or are just unable to flat out deal with it, others know how to play it right into their hands.

Like Sonia Davies.

While holidaying in Florida and undergoing surgery to remove a tumour, Sonia called her daughter and pressured her into playing the lottery as she was “feeling lucky”.

Sonia tells her story:

I had my surgery on the Wednesday and I suppose the Friday was the first day I felt ‘I am cured’. I felt good, it didn’t hurt any more.

Keith (her partner) was scanning his emails and read about the EuroMillions rollover.

He was convinced that we were the luckiest people on the planet and definitely on a winning streak after the success of my op so we called up my daughter, Courtney, to ask her to go and buy a ticket.

She was travelling and wasn’t about to change her plans so we called Stephanie instead as something told us we needed to get a ticket.

When Sonia’s daughter Stephanie checked the tickets on Sunday morning, she came down the stairs crying.

The family had won the £61.1m EuroMillions jackpot.

Yup, that’s a causal R1.1 billion right into their pockets.

Not to worry if you’re feeling a little green with envy. Use that powerful intuition of yours to buy an overseas lotto ticket.

Like, right HERE.

You just never know, you too could be poppin’ bottles of champagne with your family in celebration of pocketing over a billion rand.
