A young couple hits the jackpot on their wedding day. How? Thanks to a bold idea that brought them luck.
Married and with 700,000 euros in their pockets! This is the extraordinary adventure experienced by an Italian couple during their wedding. A sum won thanks to a daring bet that could have turned out completely differently. Discover the‘crazy idea’ that crossed their minds.
How do they win 700,000 euros at their wedding?
This should give you food for thought. A couple in love decide to get married in Italy in style… except for one detail. No wedding gifts were accepted by the newlyweds, apart from lottery tickets. A condition imposed during the invitation. Result? They received 5,000 scratch cards and by accumulating all their winnings, they won the modest sum of 700,000 euros. A risk that could have had the opposite effect, that is, winning nothing and paying for the wedding in full, out of their own pockets.
While luck seemed to have smiled on these newlyweds that day, the lottery also has its flaws. In January 2023, a British couple matched the seven correct numbers on the EuroMillions after playing online. A text message told them that they had won €205 million. But when they went to report their win, the operator told them that their ticket could not be validated due to insufficient funds in their online account. A disappointment that was difficult for the two Englishmen to take.
The most requested wedding gifts
While lottery tickets may have paid off for this loving couple, they are not among the most requested gifts. Aside from money to cover wedding expenses, here are the gifts that would be most appreciated at a wedding. In first place, the honeymoon. When it comes to covering your expenses after the celebration, the honeymoon can unfortunately fall by the wayside. Then, so-called “service” gifts, take second place. This can range from making the cake, to setting up the decoration or even preparing entertainment. Finally, sentimental attentions remain particularly popular. Surprise photo albums and videos will always have their little effect, so it’s up to you to play!
