EGYPT'S most famous queen dropped into Dorchester to help launch a new National Lottery scratchcard.

Cleopatra felt right at home in the town's Tutankhamun Exhibition to launch the new Pharaoh's Fortune scratchcard.

Tim Batty, who is manager of the exhibition, said: "We often get used as a backdrop for a range of items on Egypt and Tutankhamun.

"And as Tutankhamun is the most famous pharaoh, it's appropriate that they launch the new pharaoh scratchcard here. It's great to be able to help."

A top prize of £85,000 is up for grabs on the scratchcards, which are available from National Lottery retailers.
