Weird BUT true

It was an extra happy — and lucrative — Mother’s Day for an Australian woman.

The New South Wales mom scored a $30,000 jackpot from a scratch-off lottery ticket that was a gift from her daughter on Sunday.

The unidentified woman told lottery officials, “It was a very surreal moment” when she realized she had won.

Shocked bank customers panicked at the sight of a snake loitering at an ATM in India last week.

The reptile was captured on phone video exploring the inside of the machine’s kiosk after a security guard locked it in.

It then slithers up and into a hole at the top of the ATM in Ghaziabad.

Officials removed the intruder and released it back into the wild.

A lamb in England wound up in a baaad spot.

The animal plunged 50 feet down a drain pipe Sunday after stepping on a broken manhole cover on a farm in Durham. Rescuers had to dig for four hours to rescue the poor thing.

And in a third animal rescue...

Las Vegas police released a cat from a soup can that it had gotten “firmly stuck” on its head.

“We’re trained in a variety of life-saving techniques, but not this one,” they said in a May 6 Facebook post along with helmet-cam footage of the kitty save. After the feline was freed, it “rushed away in apparent good health,” police said.

It’s a big win for a little man. Colombia resident Edward Niño Hernández has reclaimed the title of world’s shortest man, the Guinness World Records said Tuesday.

Hernández, 34, who has hypothyroidism, stands 2-foot-4. He first gained the title in 2010, but lost it to a 2-foot-2 man later that year. That man died in January, putting Hernández back on, uh, top.

“I can achieve everything I set my mind to . . . Size and height don’t matter!” Hernández said.
