The real winner steps forward and the woman 'whose husband lost the ticket' suddenly realizes it was all a mistake and she wouldn't have been happy anyway if she'd won all that money. So why did you waste two quid, missus?
Apparently, there were 1,000 claims for lost tickets made for this big jackpot. Only a thousand? There were 1,381 claims for lost tickets made in the 4 days after I cashed my ticket in, without publicity, and the announcement that the cash wasn't on offer any more. Which only goes to show that people are more than willing to make fools of themselves if they think there's the smallest chance of pulling off a big swindle.
