British woman discovers by chance that she is a millionaire months after validating her lotto ticket. “I got the shock of my life.
I was a millionaire for months without even knowing it,” she said. She telephoned the national lottery which confirmed her winnings of nearly 1.2 million euros. She also decided to buy a new car, a "nice second-hand Hyundai", and decided to sell her Peugeot 2008 to her best friend for a symbolic pound sterling.
