A devastated couple say they missed out on a £182m EuroMillions jackpot when their numbers were drawn - but the payment for their ticket didn’t go through.Rachel Kennedy and Liam McCrohan were left “absolutely heartbroken” when they realised their usual numbers of 6, 12, 22, 29, 33, 6 and 11 had come up.
As reported by the Mirror, they had played the same numbers for five weeks in a row, before all seven digits appeared in the draw back in 2021.Rachel explained how she had set up her account to automatically buy a EuroMillions ticket for each draw.
However, when payment was attempted for what would have been the winning draw, the lottery account did not have enough funds.
Checking her account after the draw, which took place on a Friday, she was greeted with a message saying her numbers were a "winning match" - however her heart sank when she realised the glitch.Rachel, who was a business student at Brighton University at the time, said: "I called my boyfriend Liam and my mum into the room and they couldn't believe it either so I was like, 'oh my god I need to call them'. "I called the number thinking that I had won £182million and they said 'yeah you've got the right numbers but you didn't have the funds in your account for the payment of the ticket so it didn't actually go through'.
