The incident happened in February 2021. Rachel and Liam had been playing the same numbers for weeks and had drawn their numbers in a drawing held on February 26. The young couple couldn’t have been happier, and then came the cold shower.
When Rachel called the phone number on her lottery ticket, she discovered that she hadn’t actually won anything.

A spokesman for Camelot, which has been organizing the British lottery since 1994, said the company was very sorry about Rachel and Liam’s case, but wished them good luck in the upcoming draws.
