MADRID (Reuters) - As if having a fairytale wedding was not enough luck for one day, Spain's Prince Felipe and new wife Princess Letizia hit the jackpot on Saturday with a lottery ticket given to them as a wedding present, state radio reported.
The happy couple -- who wed in a glittering ceremony attended by the world's royalty on Saturday -- won 12,000 ($14,460) on a ticket given to them by a Barcelona pensioner, National Spanish Radio said.
The retired employee of state television -- where Princess Letizia worked until she became engaged -- gave the couple 10 tickets. One ticket won 12,000 and another, the number of which corresponded to the date of the wedding, won a 60 prize, the radio reported.
