Teen wins £182m EuroMillions jackpot before finding out payment for ticket had failed

A teenager who thought she'd bagged a whopping £182million on the EuroMillions was left devastated to discover that she hadn't won anything because the payment for her ticket hadn't gone through.

Rachel Kennedy and her boyfriend Liam McCrohan, from Hertfordshire, had started planning their "dream" lives when Rachel got a notification to say that her seven lottery numbers were a "winning match" back in February 2021.

The couple, who were 19 and 21 at the time, had been playing the same numbers — 6, 12, 22, 29, 33, 6 and 11 — for five weeks in a row before they were finally drawn in the February 26 EuroMillions.
