A 46-year-old woman from Pontypridd, South Wales, says she won £12 million in the National Lottery but only discovered the result hours later after the ticket’s whereabouts were questioned. Kath Main claims she purchased the ticket and that it was subsequently thrown away by a shopkeeper, leading to a delay in her checking her numbers. According to the account, Main finds out she has won only after some time had passed, rather than immediately following the draw.
The reports describe Main’s claim that the ticket was discarded shortly after her purchase, which she says prevented her from realizing her winnings right away. The available coverage does not provide independent confirmation of the shopkeeper’s actions or the exact timeline of when the ticket was discarded and when Main checked her ticket. The story centers on her allegation that the delay in discovering the win is connected to the ticket being put in the bin, followed by her later verification that the ticket contained a winning combination worth £12 million.
