a couple who she thought she had won a £182 million jackpot in the EuroMillions she was devastated after losing everything simply because of a technical issue. Britons Rachel Kennedy, 19, and Liam McCrohan, 21, had played winning numbers for five weeks in a row before they finally came up in a draw.
The National Lottery app notified Rachel that his usual numbers were a “winning combination”, which made him think that he had hit the jackpot. Rachel, a business student, told the sun in 2021: “I went into the app and it said ‘Winning Match’ and I thought ‘OMG I’ve won.’ So I called my boyfriend Liam and my mum into the room and they couldn’t believe it either,” he added. But no It was like that.
And it is that the couple was disappointed when they realized that the payment for Rachel’s ticket had not been made because he did not have enough money in his account. “I called the number thinking I had won £182m and was told, ‘Yes, you have the correct numbers, but you had no funds in your account to pay for the ticket,'” she revealed. “I was on top of the world when I thought I had won, but when I found out I hadn’t, Liam was really more upset than I was,” she lamented.
Liam, an economics student, had already been doing the math on how they would spend the money. “She was pretty chill about it, but I’d already spent it on my head.”he explained before adding that he was heartbroken when they found out they hadn’t actually bought the ticket.
“When we look at it and they were his usual numbers, it seemed that he had won and I got carried away“, wielded Liam. Rachel believed that the numbers she had been using for weeks were bad luck and changed them for the next draw in 2021. “We have played these exact numbers for about five weeks straight,” he concluded.
