【AP一分钟】悲喜人生，失业工人隔天中大奖乐透！(视频)

World markets are steady after a wild week. Most Asian indexes finished up and European markets are posting gains. Still, analysts say caution is key until the markets settle.
There could be another GOP presidential candidate tomorrow. A spokesman for Rick Perry says the Texas governor will announce his running for president when he makes stops in South Carolina and New Hampshire Saturday. Perry did not join the other candidates at last night's debate in Iowa.
The Mayor of London says the 600 people charged so far in connection with this week's riot should expect significant sentences if convicted. Police have made more than 1,700 arrests across the UK since the violence began Saturday.
And perfect timing for a group of workers in Canada. 18 employees of Smart Technologies in Ottawa hit a $7 million jackpot. And it happened just days after ten of those workers got laid off. Each group member will take home nearly $400,000.

中新网8月12日电 塞翁失马，焉知非福？据台湾《联合晚报》12日报道，加拿大渥太华一家工厂的工人遭到解雇，合购的乐透彩券却中了700多万加元(约合4580万元人民币)大奖。
生产电子白板的智能技术公司(Smart Technologies)9日宣布，将自9月起大幅裁员，因为工作将外包到墨西哥。被裁员的工人威勒10日和17名同事集资买乐透，11日对奖，发现自己买的彩券中奖，得到707.7095万加元奖金。
威勒表示，他不敢相信自己中奖，还请别人帮忙确认号码。
中奖的18名工人中，有10人收到解雇通知书；他们每人可分到39万多加元（约合252万元人民币）。威勒说，准备先还掉房屋抵押贷款、付清其它账单，再换一部新车。虽然知道即将失业，他还是会照常到工厂上班，“做一天和尚，撞一天钟”。
