A Pennsylvania man is celebrating winning
$291.4 million (£205m) on the lottery, but spare a thought for his
unlucky brother who won just $7 (£5) in the same draw.
James Stocklas was left stunned after finishing a month-long fishing
holiday to find he had won the lottery jackpot, admitting he was
“shaking for an hour straight” when he checked his ticket.

The 67-year-old posed with the huge jackpot cheque next to his brother, who still managed a smile despite his meagre prize.
Hours before he discovered his huge lottery win, the judge was eating
dinner and spotted a yacht, admitting he would need to win the lottery
to afford it.
