A student was left devastated after losing out on a £182million EuroMillions jackpot due to 'payment failure' on her winning ticket. Rachel Kennedy, 21, had the correct numbers for the huge cash prize but was informed that her payment for the £2.50 ticket hadn't gone through.
The University of Brighton student and her boyfriend, Liam McCrohan, had started planning their "dream" lives when Rachel got a notification to say that her seven lottery numbers were a "winning match" back in 2021. The couple, from Hertfordshire, had been playing the same numbers — 6, 12, 22, 29, 33, with stars 6 and 11 — for five weeks in a row.
The Mirror reports that the duo thought they were quids in when their numbers were drawn in the February 26, 2021, EuroMillions. But their dreams came crashing down when they were informed that Rachel didn't have enough funds in her account to cover the £2.50 charge.
