One of life's great irritations has netted one man £5.1 million. The noise of a neighbour's barking dog was keeping him awake, so to pass the time in the early hours he decided to spend a few quid at an online casino. £1 later, he was the proud owner of a £5 million jackpot, according to The Daily Record newspaper.
