Massachusetts Man Wins $10 Million Lottery (with a Little Help from His Dog)

Lucky Labrador Retriever Leads Owner to Winning Ticket

A Massachusetts man is $10 million richer after his loyal Labrador retriever led him to a winning lottery ticket. The man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, said he was walking his dog in a local park when the animal stopped abruptly and began pawing at a discarded lottery ticket. The man picked up the ticket and discovered he had matched all six numbers in the state's "Mega Millions" drawing.

"I couldn't believe it," said the man. "I had never won anything in my life, and now I'm a millionaire." The man plans to use his winnings to pay off his mortgage and invest in his children's education. He also plans to buy a new home and take a dream vacation.

The man's lucky dog is now a local celebrity. The animal has been given a new nickname, "Lucky," and has even made appearances on local television.
