Lotto winner followed late mother’s advice

A father-of-five is £1million richer after he followed his late mother’s advice and snapped up two lottery tickets.

Robert Cameron, from Glasgow, matched five numbers and the bonus ball in Saturday’s Lotto draw with a lucky dip ticket he had initially forgotten to buy. The 53-year-old bought a lottery ticket on Friday July 29 with change from his pocket. When he checked the result, he realised he had won £3.70.

“My mum used to say, ‘a win leads to a win’,” he said. “If you win something, put it into something else.

“So I used my winnings to buy two lucky dips.”
