Lotto winners forced to cut out dough in Rome

WHEN in Rome, it’s recommended to do as the Romans do - but that’s hard without pizza or pasta.

The 42 couples, who are the latest Fame and Fortune winners, flew out for their dream weekend yesterday into the nightmare of a one-day strike.

Italy is the latest country to stage a nationwide protest against the euro. Shops and restaurants will stop selling pizza and pasta on Saturday, which is bad news for the lotto winners who were each given €1,000 to spend.
