A Scots gran has told how she 'thought something was wrong with her dog ' before her husband revealed he had scooped £2million on the lottery.

Sandra Black's partner Ian got lucky with his winning Monopoly Scratchard Deluxe last week, the Mirror reports. The 55-year-old feared there was something wrong with her beloved pooch, Meg, when Ian anounced had 'something important' to tell her.

But it was all good news from Ian, 61, who 'let out a scream' when he realised he'd scooped the top prize. Sandra, who hails from Whitfield in Dundee, said roadworks almost stopped Ian from purchasing the winning card. “Ian was coming home from work and he never nearly stopped for his newspaper that day," she told The Courier."He bought the scratchcard and let out a scream before driving home to tell me the good news."When he came home he started shouting up ‘get yourself down here it’s important’ – I thought there was something wrong with our dog, Meg.“When I posted that I’d won on social media I think some folk thought it was a scam but they were delighted for us." Ian was driving home after a night shift and wondered if it was worth facing the delays sparked by roadworks.

He opted to go with his usual routine and picked up the ticket in the couple's hometown, Carlisle in Cumbria.Ian, who has five children and 10 grandchildren with Sandra, has since handed hit notice in at Pirelli Tyres.“Something was just telling me to buy it," he said.“I went out of the shop and sat and scratched it – I just could not believe what I was seeing."I let out a scream and immediately drove home."Ian added: "We have won £2m!" Then Sandra looked at the card and almost fainted.
