Spain's royal couple win lottery on gift ticket

MADRID (Reuters) - As if having a fairytale wedding was not enough luck for one day, Spain's Prince Felipe and new wife Princess Letizia have hit the jackpot with a lottery ticket given to them as a wedding present, state radio has reported.


The happy couple -- who wed in a glittering ceremony attended by the world's royalty on Saturday -- won 12,000 euros (8,000 pounds) 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 euros and another, the number of which corresponded to the date of the wedding, won a 60 euro prize, the radio reported.


The state lottery company's Website confirmed those ticket numbers had won.

Aaah the way they looked at at each other! I watched the church service yesterday..., so cute to see how she sometimes clinged on Felipe's arm (5th pic):

























Letizia: Who of those two did I marry again?

Oh it was THE BEST! i love those pictures! Especially where they're hugging on the balcony.I didn't manage to see the beginning bit, but nerea has recorded it for me. It was such a catholic ceremony! Don't you think? The coin exchange was wicked too- very spanish. And their Mantia's (is that what they're called?) were pretty rocking too! I wasn't quite sure about Letizia's make up though, lol. YAAAAAAAY for a proper wedding for people really in love hehehe.

That little boy (Felipe - also known as Froilan in Spain cos that's one of his other names - the Prince's nephew) was so much fun yesterday during the church service! He's so sweet!

Those pics are great Rogier! :D Ah, I just loved the whole thing. People here are complaining that it was too cold, that no emotions were shown and that all in all it was a sad ceremony, but I don't think so. They weren't as explicit as the Danish couple las week but they were still really cute :)

lol yes, very catholic  :?  It was looooooong, very long! I didn't know the coin exchange was a Spanish thing. Those coins are called "arras", and I think they symbolize prosperity.

The thing the Queen and other ladies were wearing is called "mantilla" Very very Spanish. I am not sure really on which occasions it's supposed to be used because it's more of a southern thing and I live on the north.

:P about Letizia's make-up (and appearance on the whole) I think she looked pretty tired. She's naturally very skinny and apparently she's lost weight these days, so she didn't look too bright that day, IMO. The dress was luuuuurverly though!
