The National Lottery has responded after a teenage student missed out on a £182m jackpot because of a failed ticket payment. Rachel Kennedy, who was studying business at Brighton University at the time, matched all seven EuroMillions numbers back in February 2021.
Unfortunately for her and boyfriend Liam McCrohan, the payment had not gone through for the ticket because she did not have enough cash in her bank account to pay the £2.50 charge, as reported by the Daily Star.
Camelot, which has run the state-franchised lottery since 1994, sent the Hertfordshire couple a "good luck" message for future draws this week. A spokesman for the company said: "We're aware of Rachel's story and hope she gets in early to buy a ticket for the next big draw."
