£2m. but I nearly lost the Lotto

Winner was set to drive past ticket shop

- JEREMY ARMSTRONG

A LOTTERY punter almost drove on when he saw roadworks around the garage where he usually buys his tickets.

But something induced night-shift factory-worker Ian Black to find his way in... and now he is £2million richer after hitting a scratchcard jackpot.

He said: “It was 6am and something was just telling me to go in and buy it.

“I sat right there on the forecourt and scratched it. I could not believe what I was seeing.

I let out a scream and drove home at once.

To think I almost didn't go in because of the roadworks.
