A mum thought she had won £240,000 on the lottery - only to find that her ticket was for the wrong day. Jeanette's winning ticket was not for that night, Saturday, but the following Wednesday. Jeanette of Eastham, Merseyside, said yesterday: "It's like a cruel joke. One minute I thought I'd won a fortune - and the next it had gone."
"I told the lad at store, three lucky dips for that night but as I said it he was talking to someone through a perspex screen next to him. That's the only reason I can think of for the mistake. All I can say is I now know what it feels like to win an awful lot of money... and it's a fantastic feeling.
"Unfortunately I know what it is like to have it taken away."
A spokeswoman for Camelot said: "While we understand the customer's disappointment, all lottery tickets clearly state that it's the customer's responsibility to check the details. If a mistake had been picked up by the customer at the time, we would of course have re-issued fresh tickets for the Saturday draw
If you still go to the shop to buy tickets, make sure you check it's tonights ......
