World’s cutest dog dies aged 12
    2019-01-22  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

IF the January blues hadn’t already got to you... the world’s cutest dog, Boo, has died of a broken heart.

The Pomeranian Boo and his companion Buddy, who died last year, became Internet sensations when their American owners started sharing pictures of their adorable antics.

His death was confirmed in a post made by his owners to his 16 million Facebook followers Friday night. He was 12 years old, in human years.

“Shortly after Buddy died, Boo showed signs of heart issues. We think his heart literally broke when Buddy left us,” his owners wrote. “He hung on and gave us over a year. But it looks like it was his time, and I’m sure it was a most joyous moment for them when they saw each other in heaven.

“Our family is heartbroken, but we find comfort knowing that he is no longer in any pain or discomfort,” they added, noting that Boo “brought joy to people all over the world.”

The announcement was met with shock from Boo’s fans, several of whom said they were in tears at the news.

Venus The Two Face Cat, a Chimera cat with over a million Facebook fans, “wrote:” “He’s a true legend and we’ve enjoyed following him for the past 6.5 years.”

In addition to his social media presence, Boo was appointed in 2012 as Virgin America’s Official Pet Liaison. He also had a book deal, appearing in photo books including “Boo: The Life of the World’s Cutest Dog,” published in 2011.

The dog “discussed” how he handled fame in a 2012 interview with CNN. “Life hasn’t changed much for me,” he said. “I like to stay home, play with toys and pal around with Buddy.(SD-Agencies)

A Sydney woman in her 40s has taken home the entire $100 million Powerball jackpot in Thursday night’s game, setting Australian lottery history as the biggest individual prize ever won.

An official from the Lott called the registered player directly after the draw to break the news. When confirming the news, the winner initially revealed she thought she had won $107,000.

The regular player, who wished to remain anonymous, purchased her 12-game marked entry online.

“I don’t understand what is going on,” she told the Lott.

“I’ve had such a tumultuous day, so I don’t know where I am and what I am doing.

“I don’t understand – is this actually real?

“Is this a trick?

“Oh my God, $107,000! That’s amazing!

“Wait – are you telling me I’ve won $107 million? Oh my God! That is just so much money.”

When asked how she planned to spend her windfall, the winner revealed her family was first and foremost in her mind.

“I’m a healthcare professional but I won’t be retiring. I’m so passionate about my job. It will drive me to do more health work for causes important to me,” she said.

“I’ll be sharing it with my family. I thought of my family when I purchased the ticket.

“I’m not quite sure what to do but of course I will be helping my family.

“I’ll be giving my favourite charity some money. They’ll get a whole slab of money.

“The win gives me the chance to go and do the things I’ve always wanted to do.

“We might buy a caravan and travel around too.”

The numbers drawn in Thursday night’s Powerball draw were 20, 18, 33, 22, 11, 26 and 4 and the Powerball was number 9.

Across Australia, there was only one division one winning entry in the draw – the entry from NSW.

The winner recounted how she came to hold the division one-winning entry.

“It was so random. I just decided to log-on yesterday and mark an entry with some random numbers,” she said.

“I’m not sure how I will be able to sleep tonight, but for now I’m going to go have a cheap glass of chardonnay.”

The winner’s division one prize was boosted to $107,575,649.08 due to the number of entries purchased in Thursday night’s draw.

The division one-winning entry was the only entry nationally to match all seven winning numbers and the Powerball in draw 1183, re-writing the record books and setting Australian lottery history as the biggest individual prize ever won.

Thursday’s draw also saw a total of 3,856,275 prizes worth more than $68.4 million won in divisions two to nine. This included 20 division two winning entries that each took home a division two prize of $94,792.90.
