Six correct numbers and still no lottery jackpot: couple comes away empty-handed because of a mistake. Edwina and David Nylan played the lottery, the jackpot was 35.4 million pounds (the equivalent of around 40 million euros) The couple wanted to send their numbers to the National Lottery via an app shortly before the end of the game round.

But that apparently didn't work. The system did not send confirmation of booking the lottery ticket. Even a call to the operating company's customer service couldn't change anything.
