'Britain's Unluckiest Couple' Bought £3m Lottery Jackpot – but Never Saw a Penny
- Kath Main believes she won a £12 million Lotto jackpot after matching numbers she has played for 20 years, but faces an agonizing wait after a Londis shopkeeper in Abercynon, South Wales, allegedly discarded her ticket.
- After discovering the draw last month went unclaimed, Kath checked her numbers and realized they matched. Her mother Fiona took the ticket to the shop, where the machine reportedly failed to signal a win.
- To support her claim, Kath provided Allwyn with proof of purchase and doorbell footage from a nearby hair salon showing her mother's visit. Allwyn confirmed it is investigating whether human error or a machine fault occurred.
- Allwyn, the only major lottery allowing claims for lost or destroyed tickets, is expected to take up to 30 days to determine if Kath can receive the £12 million prize.
- Should the claim succeed, Kath hopes to travel to New Zealand for the Lions rugby tour in 2029. If unsuccessful, Fiona explained the funds would eventually be allocated to charitable causes.
