Barking Dog Leads to Lottery Windfall for Taiwanese Couple

[Hannman]

As a cold snap blankets parts of Taiwan, things are heating up for one local couple. Thanks to a barking dog in a lottery shop, they scored a nice payday from a scratch-off lottery ticket.
The couple were out on the town in New Taipei on Wednesday when they made a quick stop in a local store, according to Taiwan’s lottery operator, Taiwan Lottery Co. Doing what dogs do, the store owner’s canine companion began barking, drawing the couple’s attention.
If it hadn’t been for him, they may not have bought a lottery ticket in the same store. It turned out to be a lucrative decision, as they walked away TWD1 million (US$33,132) richer.

I think the phenomenon of a store owner's dog barking and the Taiwanese couple's purchase of a winning lottery ticket is both interesting and strange. Interesting in that the dog chose to bark at the specific time when the couple were patronizing the store. Stranger in that the couple's ticket earned them a lot of money.
I think lady luck conspired with the dog bigly.

Wow, that is one lucky couple and an even luckier dog, if you ask me. I have to say, it's quite fascinating that a simple bark led to such a windfall. It just goes to show that sometimes, the smallest things can lead to big things
