A British couple has won \u00a3100,770 (approximately $124,000 USD) in the lottery \u2014 and the two say they plan to use the money to foster children.<\/p>\n

Mark and Kathleen Reece have wanted to become foster parents for years, according to Not the Bee<\/a>, but with three biological children at home, they felt they didn’t have the space to do so. Mark decided to buy a EuroMillions ticket, and while he was out buying milk, he asked his wife to check the winning ticket. When Kathleen checked the ticket number and saw he had won, she didn’t quite believe it. She had long been frustrated by Mark’s weekly lottery efforts.<\/p>\n

The couple’s daughter helped her double-check the numbers. \u201cWe called out the winning numbers to each other and, as the realization of what this meant hit us, we sat there in disbelief,” said Kathleen.<\/p>\n
