A NEWSAGENT is experiencing a boom in business after one of its customers scooped millions on the Lottery.

Ever since people discovered the Wright family from Erith bought their £3m winning ticket at TJ News, Northend Road, Erith, they have been hoping to replicate the family's luck.

Jagdish Sahota, who runs the shop, said: "Customers have been insisting they touch the machine when buying their Lottery ticket in the hope some luck may rub off on them.

"The big win has got everyone talking."

He added: "We have got our fingers crossed there are plenty more lucky tickets to come out."

I never understood these people that do the same numbers week in week out since it stared. That means for the rest of there life they must do theses numbers just incase it comes up. even when abored.They have just hooked themslves to these numbers for life.
Since it strated I dp different numbers each week.
