An Ohio man won $50,000 in a lottery by using the numbers from his late dog’s license tag.
Roger Sours bought a ticket for the Pick 5 drawing and used the special numbers 1-0-8-2-2, which were from his German shepherd’s license.
"I play two sets of numbers for Pick 5 and this number, the number that hit, was my license number for my German shepherd that I played. She's no longer with us anymore," he told Ohio Lottery officials.
Sours was stunned to discover he had won. "I just sat here. I watch the lottery when I can, when it's on TV and I just sat here. It was like, I froze. I just couldn't believe that it hit," he said.
He plans to use his winnings to pay off some bills and boost his savings account.
