the missing lottery winner

If that true and its a big if, I would think if they don't pay her (nap) it will be the biggest hard luck story ever.

I know its not true because I have the remains of the winning ticket here after next doors dog ate it

bet the dog only ate the barcode part of the ticket

bloody hell its happened to you as well

keep your thumb over the date part of the ticket ...

FFS sake I was getting excited then ... maybe give it another go tonight.

Have to feel for the young couple who "won" circa £7 million but couldn't find their ticket.

They could prove from where they bought it, and "Shamalot" acknowledged that, but wouldn't pay because it was out of the timeline.

Poor b@st@rds, and he had gone into work, and told everyone to get stuffed etc!

How could you live with that?

only question ,why did it take so long to make the story up,i mean realise she,d put it in the wash,

Maybe some good came out of it. Perhaps he is not so rude and unappreciative now. He will also have learned that rules ARE rules. They are not opportunities to 'blag' your way!

Great reply on horse racing from gg

"Sounds like money laundering"

My dog ate my winning ticket. I followed him around for the next couple of days with a dustpan and shovel and have carefully packaged the resulting "product" into a plastic bag and sent it off to Camelot.

I am assuming with today's technology they can piece the ticket back together again.

tbf if they don't manage it I could probably do without the tenner.

if this is credible hard to believe it hasnt happened a million times before with 3,4,5 numbers with people with set numbers trying to claim

I won 78 quid and lost the ticket. Same numbers, same shop every single week. I fill in a claims form stating details above and approximate time when tickets bought. Did they pay me my 78 quid? Dtf.

Moral of the story is, even if true, the woman has nae chance.

shes billion   even if true camelot will have a share out with themselves

camelot employee

odds on hoax.... no date , no barcode...just six numbers bought in the week following the draw and 12 hours after camelot announce worcester area holding the winning 33 million ticket purchase.

CCDA stood down...case closed

Well done Sherlock

I like to state the obvious ^^^

I said to the Mrs - she had the right numbers so must be genuine  - didn't think of your scenario of buying a ticket with those numbers  - very clever but could she be prosecuted for attempted fraud.

They have video of the time the winning ticket is bought.....if she is not in that then she is a fraudster

1 year Jail.

at least 1 year i would think.

if its her she will get the money they know exact time where who etc most shops have cctv anyway

I think she is lying she should come clean because in the long run it will all come out in the wash

shoot the fecker i say

If they have video evidence with the time, then surely they have a good chance of identifying the buyer.

camelot would like to keep the 33 million ask them how many sleepers they keep the raffle numbers 20k all are not claimed every week all in there pockets

I do the lottery online - that way you don't have to worry about lost tickets. They even e-mail you when you have won.

you get 9 months plus for benefit fraud

^ I made a comment like that earlier and they took my post down (?)

All the vital information washed out except the numbers, this is so iffy, and also I would imagine a lottery ticket in a jeans pocket put through the washing machine would be completely disintegrated.

Story in the paper now, she is 48, and a German Mother of 2 and Grandmother-of-4, says she has been in floods of tears and is already getting begging letters.

uh oh

biggest fraud sine VW

According to the DM, her daughter said she sent it off to Camelot. According to the Mirror, Camelot are urging her to send them the ticket. Funny how things don't add up.

the daughter also added it would be 'great' if she won.

Also she ticks the box with a health problem, just waiting for the close family member she lost recently.

post it?

taxi/cat/train/bus/plane

bit whiffy

If she's German, what's she doing over here ... we only want mussie terrorists, not sausage eating Germans.

It starts simple enough, "I haf von your lott - er -ee and I vont my mun - ee".  But then it quickly escalates ...

it's ... "and ven is zee next bussen to Poland ... ve haf some unfinished business zere".

They're renowned for it ... remember Chamberlain and his "I have a piece of paper signed by Herr Hitler etc" ... that didn't wash either.

The main evidence she is telling the truth is that no-one else has claimed the prize. Let us hope the dozy frau remembered to put a stamp on the envelope to Camelot or better still use a recorded delivery service and a stout container so the ticket does not get lost or sustain more damage in the post.

Btw -- unclaimed prizes are added to the lottery fund for good causes, not into the Camelot directors' annual bonuses.
https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/results/unclaimed-prizes

That unclaimed prize list shows no fewer than ten £1 million raffle (or the equivalent millionaire maker) prizes. Clearly people check the main numbers but forget about the raffle part (or never realised there is a raffle).

Mememe

Grow up ffs !

Come on Facts, he's just trying to add some levity

The Germans are here, and they are up to something :

Facts ... how you getting on housing them asylum seekers you care so much about ... you haven't got time to be chit chatting on here.

Doors to paint

Camelot now says hundreds of people have claimed the prize. This does not reflect well on the British people.

I think the CCDA need to get their arses into gear here.

This story is several days old and the case has still not been solved.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03gbmc9

Seems conclusive to me.  The gentleman newsagent sounds honourable and his customer would understandably be nervous.  I haven't actually been in
the newsagent but I have been in the bookies next door.  All the people round there seem very honest.   Pay the woman.

camelot will do anything to keep the money crooks

Unclaimed money goes to the charities?

Commenting on the claims of lost, stolen and damaged tickets, a Camelot spokesman said: "Given the interest in the missing £33m ticket-holder, we have received hundreds of claims of this nature.

"All of these are currently being considered on a case-by-case basis, and we will follow up with all claimants directly to advise them whether their claim will be investigated further."

The spokesman also said details of the shop which sold the winning ticket had not been released, nor had any retailer been informed that they sold the ticket.

How the hell do you buy a ticket for a 66 million £ rollover jackpot...... and then not check your ticket ?

Facts, first rule of ccda is not to believe everything you are told.

Lots of detail in Mail online.

What concerns me is that he ex reckons she was best looking woman in the city.

"What concerns me is that her ex reckons she was best looking woman in the city."


If your ex just won £33million sure you would say the same thing. Infact another former boyfriend also said she was a stunning woman.

She certainly sounds a dodgy type: (quotes from Mail online)

"Yesterday it emerged that the qualified nurse had been summoned to Worcester Magistrates’ Court six times in as many years, including a summons over the failure to pay £2,205 in 2010."

"When her marriage to Mr Scott collapsed after he left her for another woman, Miss Hinte sold a story about the love rival allegedly stalking her to a women’s magazine for £250."

"Miss Hinte’s daughter, Natasha Douglas, 28, refused to comment on her mother’s court record."

I take it you're being ironic  !!

Never mind that, who chucks their trousers into the washing machine without checking the pockets are empty?

Reminds me of the old joke.. Shop P.A. announces that a wallet with
a large sum of money in it has been found "Would the owner please form
a queue at the customer service desk"

women in america went to collect a few million on the last day before it became void,tried to make a name for herself

she did---it was void at 12pm and she walked into company at 130pm

I love the fact one of the claims said they'd bought the ticket from the shopkeeper's wife. Who was cannily in India at the time!

Nothing like money to bring out the worst in people.

the newsagent but I have been in the bookies next door.  All the people round there seem very honest.   Pay the woman.

the warndon estate in worcester is the roughest most crime ridden area of worcester
even the rottweilers go around in pairs

Apparently hundreds of people are claiming they had the ticket?
So, that's hundreds of people attempting a deliberate fraud, I hope the authorities chase up obvious cases and deal with them accordingly.

the papers and camelot seem to be doing everything to discredit this woman

Camelot is loving all the free publicity.

Papers also saying up to 10-year jail term for deliberately trying to defraud for the win.

Never mind that, who chucks their trousers into the washing machine without checking the pockets are empty?

A single man?

As a married man, I put a pair in the wash with a tissue in them back in 2007 and I still hear about it today.  Her outrage at the time of the incident couldn't have been much worse if she found me in bed with the Eastern European hottie who lives over the road

Story is a joke.living in Worcester nobody in Warndon would own a washing machine..

Tommy,
Well you know what to do!

But FFS use the curtians, not a tissue when you've finished.
(See earlier topic re wiping a special part)

Camelot say they've accepted a valid claim from an anonymous winner.

who is it?

german plumber

From the BBC report:
Camelot said the fact that a ticket had been validated within 180 days of the draw meant it had not been submitted under its lost, stolen destroyed or damaged policy.

That bint from Warndon is due up in court apparently on theft charges.

http://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/14234689.Worcester_woman_who_claims_to_have_won_lottery_jackpot_set_to_appear_in_court_on_theft_charges/

Struggling to come to terms that, maybe, it is not her that has won.

Some people have no shame.

I saw a picture of her washed ticket - it looked nice and clean

All the numbers were clear but all of the other data was obscured or missing.

Maybe she's just got her week mixed up, and the ticket related to the previous week.  It's easily done.

More likely the ticket was bought the week after

more likely and by camelot

Took a trip to Camelot today to show them my ticket.....which was nice !

What about the knight?

I don't need an honour aswell !

I heard you enjoyed receiving a large gong

You heard wrong.

Mystery over - Camelot say that the winner who wishes to remain anonymous had come forward.

Glad to see that my best mate won. Will it change him , Nah - a Leopard never changes his spots

£10,000 on it's way.

I'm still with the washer woman. not gonna change my mind at this late stage.

The washer woman is a nutter - she told the Sun that if she is proclaimed the winner- she's wants to remain anonymous

Anyway they've found the winner who does want to remain anonymous.

the thing is crystal i've been on the receiving end of this.

i had a fiver go through on delicates a while back and when i tried to deposit it the cashier looked at me like i was trying to rob the place.

camelot must think the public are mugs camelot will be keeping the money 1.01

she should sue persil ffs

vanish shirley

If I won all that dosh I'd still do my placepots - can't beat the thrill of getting a good one up.

Apparently the name of this 2nd winner of the £33 million is all over the internet. So, where can we find the identity of this/these person/s. Anyone know where to look to find out?
