Lotto winner
A Lottery winner who should have shared half of the £33million prize because the ticket went into the washing machine and is a bit hard to read but you can make out the winning numbersThey will not pay her out.
You have to be sad for this poor old Grandmother who is up in court for next week for theft.
Had to chuckle today after two weeks the real winner came forward

Re: Lotto winner
I saw that on the news tonight galty.Probably a dumb question, but I wonder what would have happened if they had paid the other old gal, then the real one stepped forward? Would the wrong have to give the money back, or would the lottery people have to write it off as their own fault?
It's like, on a much smaller scale of course, if a shop gave you too much change, could they demand it back?

In this case Grannie could be facing another court case over this with a max sentence of 10 years.
