Houston Community News >> Cat Hits Winning Lottery for Owner

10/13/2007 (AP)-- As the old Chinese saying goes, ‘Kindness often meets with good recompense.’ And a Shenzhen resident surnamed Wang has been deeply convinced of that.

Wang, who adopted a homeless cat two months ago, bought a lottery ticket that won him a total of ($435). He has his cat to thank. Last week Wang brought his cat with him to buy a lottery ticket. As Wang was about to buy the ticket, the frisky feline jumped out of his arms and onto the computer keyboard, accidentally choosing Wang’s lottery numbers at random. Wang, who had complained that his cat had wasted his 10 yuan ($1.29) lottery ticket, was surprised to learn that his cat had actually chosen the winning numbers for him.
