Close call as man tosses winning lottery ticket in bin

A lucky couple has netted nearly £1.9 million on the lottery - after the wife retrieved the winning ticket from their recycling bin.

When the ticket failed to win the Wednesday draw late last month, Richard Buss threw it away. But his wife, Dione, later remembered that the ticket was a weekly one, covering the Saturday night draw as well, and retrieved it - only to discover their massive win.
