I tell you what, the Gambling Commission is going to have a field day fining Camelot when they release charges that they are placing on them with this case of fraud included.

Why should she be paid when her ticket was not a winner (of the larger prize)?

imagine,

You win a jackpot and someone claims that they also won (because of technical issues displaying an incorrect result as per this case.)

.. will you be happy to share your jackpot 50-50 with that person? Or would you rather get the full value to which you are entitled because the other person didn't have the right numbers...

If everyone boycotts the lottery until this woman gets paid, I think they would change Thier mind. If they gave her the royal screw job, they could screw everyone. So everyone should boycott the lottery.

With this decision he is telling Camelot they do not have to pay for their mistakes, just hire good lawyers.

PS.......Thanks for the prompt update, Kate.

Lottery player Joan Parker-Grennan, who went head-to-head with National Lottery operator Camelot in a court battle, will not be walking away with the 1 million prize she thought she was owed.
