A 46-year-old woman, Kath Main, says she is waiting to learn whether she holds a £12 million Lotto jackpot ticket after she alleges a shopkeeper threw away her winning ticket before she could submit it for a claim. According to reports, Main has played the same lottery numbers for about 20 years and believes the numbers she matched relate to a £12 million jackpot. She says the issue dates back to June 6 and that her ticket was discarded at the time of purchase or shortly afterwards, leaving her unable to present it to confirm her entitlement.
Multiple outlets describe her situation as a prolonged period of uncertainty, with Main reportedly facing a wait of around 30 days tied to the lottery process and the verification of potential winners. The coverage focuses on her claim that the ticket was binned, rather than on confirmation that a jackpot win has been validated. The reports collectively present the dispute as an alleged mix-up involving the ticket’s disposal, with the final outcome depending on whether her claim can be verified.
