Lottery winners who found out they had won a staggering £35 million ended up with nothing.
Edwina and David Nylan entered the draw on December 23, 2015. As reported by the Mirror, they could never have imagined that six of the winning numbers would come in on the Lottomobile app.
It initially seemed like a Christmas miracle for the cash-strapped pair. Each of their six numbers - 01 - 02 - 04 - 19 - 28 - 41 - had come up trumps, bagging them the unbelievable sum of £35,410,034.
However, their dreams came crashing down in spectacular fashion after they tried to claim the jackpot - all because of their empty bank account.
Grandmother Edwina, of Fleetwood, Lancashire, said at the time: "When the numbers came up, it looked like we had got all six and had won the jackpot but when I checked, there was nothing from Camelot. I rang customer services at Camelot and the person I spoke to said they could see from their records that we had intended to buy those numbers but they said the purchase did not go through because we only had 60p in our account.
"We had tried to top up the account and hadn't realised that hadn't registered either. You get an email to confirm your purchase, but I didn't remember to check because it was just before Christmas and I was so busy. Camelot told me they would look into it with their IT department."
Expressing her dismay, Edwina, who did her utmost best to remain positive, continued: "I am gutted, but what can we do? We have played for years, and had our online account for some time, so it is not as if we didn't know what we were doing. I have just had to carry on with things and not get too down. Shocked isn't the word, but as a family we stick together and just have to be grateful for what we've got."
