But, you took a picture of it, or even recorded it on video, so it was beyond all reasonable doubt you did have the winning ticket especially as you called up straight away to claim you won, if you lost the ticket between claiming and producing the ticket, could the photo or video evidence be sufficient enough for them to pay you out regardless - or would you have to have that ticket ?

you dont need the ticket anyway. there have been cases where people have found a ticket they didnt buy, claimed the money then got arrested and charged with fraud/theft.
think even telling them the shop and time you bought it would be enough
Didn't it happen to a bloke a few years back? He lost the winning ticket but Camelot where and when he brought, they didn't dispute his claims, and said everything he said was correct but still wouldn't pay him out.
That story sounds a bit familiar kenbo. Yes, a couple lost their ticket in 2010 and lost £3 million **BUT** there is some sort of 30 day lost ticket claim period apparently, they noticed too late.
There's another interesting story where guys in the US bought 3 tickets, threw away one, then found out it was actually a $1million winner. They can prove they have the sequential tickets either side of the number from the correct shop, but the lottery won't apparently pay up

it sounds ridiculous
You phone up straight away to claim the prize
Nobody has done so
You lose the ticket, it's never found
You have conclusive proof it was yours
Video recording of the ticket, pictures, time / date / location of purchase
And they still refuse to pay up knowing full well you are the winner?
Surely must be a law against that happening.

As I said above there IS, in the UK lottery, a 30 day window for lost tickets.
TRY AGAIN NEXT WEEK AND BE MORE CAREFULL WITH MY TICKET
