I missed out on £3.6MILLION lottery win because of a bizarre coincidence – I laughed and cried when I found out
A WOMAN was left laughing and crying after losing out on a £3.6million lotto jackpot thanks to a bizarre coincidence.
Nicole Makrigannis played the Set for Life lottery on March 18 – where the winner bags £10,000 every month for 30 years.
But after choosing two lines of numbers at random she checked the results online only to be left utterly gobsmacked.
The 23-year-old told the MEN: “They were all one above the number.
“I started manically laughing and crying. I thought it was so tragically funny.”
Nicole’s numbers were 03, 12, 20, 39, 44 with the ‘life ball’ 06.
While the winning numbers were 02, 11, 19, 38, 43 with the ‘life ball’ 06.
Following the “bizarre” dip, Nicole has found herself daydreaming what she could have splashed the cash on.
Treating her family, a new car and her own home were on the list.
The National Lottery Set for Life sees the winner receive £10,000 per month for 30 years, a sum which equates to a life-changing £3.6million.
