Edwina and David lottery scanner machine Nylan, 60, used the mobile app to enter the draw on December 23, but say a glitch in the system meant it wasn't recognised. When their numbers came up, they realised they had all seven and phoned up to claim http://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/lottery-winner-told-20000-lotto-ticket-was-sold-er/27074144 the £35,410,34 jackpot - only to be told their entry hadn't worked. Edwina, 55, said: ‘I am gutted, but what can we do? ‘I have just had to carry on with things and not get too down. Shocked isn't the word, but as a family we stick together and just have to be grateful for what we've got.'

They tried to top up so they had enough money in the account, then tried again with the numbers 01 - 02 - 04 - 19 - 28 - 41. But despite the app confirming the purchase had gone through, Camelot says it has no record of the transaction. Edwina said: ‘I rang customer services at Camelot and the person I spoke to said they could see from their records that we had intended to buy those numbers but they said the purchase did not go through because we only had 60p in our account. ‘We had tried to top up the account, and hadn't realised that hadn't registered either. ‘You get an email to confirm your purchase, but I didn't remember to check because it was just before Christmas and I was so busy. ‘Camelot has now told me they are looking into it with their IT department.'

Instead of announcing that stars 5 and 8 had been drawn, the lottery said 5 and 6 had been drawn. Receptionist banned from having marker pen in public over racist graffitiIt was good news for one player, however, after he discovered he had won a whopping £5.80 lottery ticket rather than £3.20. He said: ‘I had checked the numbers myself on the Euromillions website and realised I had matched two numbers but didn’t have any Lucky Stars. ‘I put the ticket aside as there no major rush to be claiming £3.20. ‘But later in the week I checked a different ticket and spotted there was a message from the company saying they had put up the wrong numbers. ‘I rushed to check just in case this meant a payday lottery ticket not for me and I had won more, but not much. My ticket was now worth £5.80 because I had two numbers and a matching Lucky Star.

We’ve fixed this now and all prizes were processed correctly, but we’re very sorry for any inconvenience caused.' This Friday’s Euro jackpot is an estimated £31m. Last week Lotto punters were left outraged after winners bagged more money for matching just THREE balls than FIVE. How much is the National Living Wage?Those who matched five balls were dumbfounded to discover they would get just £15, while the prize for matching just three balls was £25. In October it emerged four lotto players may have torn up million-pound tickets following another blunder by draw bosses. Camelot put the wrong numbers on their website for 40 minutes - a mistake which could have led to potential winners throwing away their tickets thinking they hadn’t won.
