In this charming and whimsical photograph captured by William Thornton, we are transported back to the 1990s at Glasgow Zoo, where a remarkable event took place. Meet National Lottery Winston, the giant tortoise who became an unexpected celebrity for his role in selecting winning numbers. With six colorful tennis balls laid out before him, Winston's task was no ordinary one. His slow and deliberate movements added an air of anticipation as he carefully approached each ball. As visitors watched with bated breath, it seemed as though fate itself rested on the outcome of his choices. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the fusion of cuteness and humor that unfolded during these lottery draws. The juxtaposition between the seriousness of such a significant event and the adorable nature of our reptilian protagonist is simply delightful.
