A lucky bloke has bagged nearly £150,000 on the lottery after having a ‘fateful dream’.
Jamie Shedden said he changed his usual lottery strategy after having a vision in his sleep.
The 54-year-old said: “I had a dream that the winning ticket was at the top row of tickets in the store.
“The store clerk knows me and knows I always pick the second ticket from the bottom.
