It's not clear to me what they are saying. Are they saying their ticket purchase went through as normal and they were refused the prize. Or that they tried to buy a ticket and it was declined but they still thought they'd won.

You're right it's not entirely clear. They are saying they played the same numbers for 5 weeks in a row, however come week 5 they didn't have sufficient funds in their account to cover the cost of the ticket. However 'the system' seems to have thought they'd won and an auto text was sent out accordingly. It was then discovered 'lack of funds.'

It's a strange one in that I play 2 weeks at a time and you have to pay for the ticket at the point of purchase (i.e. have funds available in your Camelot account) so I'm not 100% sure what's happened here. Looks like a glitch, not a very nice one for the couple!

a good advert for .
cash is king at least they would have known for definite they had bought ticket

Unfortunately the rush by people (I won't call them sheeple) to ditch hard cash is getting worse. Most times I go to a bar in a pub to order something the barmaid automatically brings the card reader. Sometimes even in my local, where they should know better.

Your right though you can be standing there with the cash in your hand and they automatically push or point out the reader to you .

A couple of mates were part of a syndicate that won 38 million on euro millions . 3 months before they won they were talking about changing the numbers but mate said no way do we change them we are sticking with numbers . As he says thank christ i held my ground

It's getting worse. About a year ago I went into a pub that had just re-opened having been closed a couple of years (not Covid). Feckers had put a pool table in and didn't take cash any longer. Also they didn't sell any ales.

Unsurprisingly the pub is now shut again.

If the story had been written clearly it would have been a non-story.

"Gambler fails to buy ticket, does not win prize."

...whilst your horse drinks from the trough outside, your wife slaves over the scrubbing board and mangle and you always make sure the bar maid gives you enough 10p pieces for the pay phone over the road. :rolleyes:

Hypocrite luddites, don't you just love em.

I’ve still got most of the £47.50 I had in my pocket when lockdown started……
