A teen who thought she’d won big with £182million on the EuroMillions was left high and dry after discovering the payment for her ticket didn’t go through.
Rachel Kennedy and her partner Liam McCrohan, from Hertfordshire, started planning out their ‘dream lives’ after she got a notification to say the seven lottery numbers were a ‘winning match’. The pair, who were 19 and 21 at the time, had been playing with the same numbers - 6, 12, 22, 29, 33, 6 and 11 for five weeks in a row.
The dreams soon crumbled when they were informed that Rachel didn’t have the funds in her account at the time of paying for the £2.50 ticket. Despite this, she thought she had won due to a glitch where she received the winning notification.
