odds ’n’ endsLONDON: Hundreds of Britons have attempted to claim a £33 million (43 million euro, $47 mil-lion) lottery payout, saying their tickets have been damaged or lost including one woman who said she put hers in the washing machine.
More than a fortnight after the winning numbers of the Jan 9 National Lottery draw were an-nounced, the enduring mystery was headline news on Tuesday in the British tabloids, which have homed in on 48-year-old grand-mother Suzanne Hinte.
The woman said the bar code, serial number and part of the date on the ticket were smudged away because it was in the pocket of a pair of jeans she washed. “I wouldn’t make it up, why would I?” she was quoted as saying, claim-ing her right to half of the £66 mil-lion jackpot — the biggest in the history of the National Lottery.
The other ticket with the win-ning numbers has already been claimed by a 54-year-old couple from Scotland, and organisers Camelot may take several months to identify the second winner.
Hinte said she bought her ticket on Jan 9 at a newsagent’s shop in Worcester, central England, where Camelot said the winning ticket was sold.
Her estranged husband voiced some doubts about her claim but told The Sun, Britain’s best-selling newspaper, that he would be only too happy to be proved wrong.
