Re consecutive numbers, I read about lottery numbers for a subject at Uni and consecutive numbers are very common. Selecting them is one of many ways of improving your chances of winning, apparently.
But did you pass the re-sit?Butter Face said:
Hopefully she gets prosecuted for attempted fraud!
She has never claimed to have the winning ticket. Shes been quite clear about this. She said something along the lines of " ive washed this ticket, could it be the one your looking for?".... rather than saying "this IS the ticket". SHe hasn't lodged an official claim etc.You cant be accused of something for just asking a question.

The ticket had the correct numbers. So if it wasn't the winning ticket, it was bought after the event. Then deliberately doctored to lose the identity number and date etc.You cant be accused of something for just asking a question.
The intension was clearly to obtain money by deception. That's fraud.

Excellent, good luck to them! Great that they're staying anonymous but it would be interesting to know how the delay came about. "Just couldn't be bothered checking as I knew the chance was next to nowt"TwigtheWonderkid said:

Surely she has made a 'valid claim' by going to Camelot with that ticket and saying she washed it but thinks it's the winning one is a 'valid claim'?

Exactly. "This might be the winning ticket" when she knows damn well it isn't is an attempt to obtain money by deception.
She says she's never made a claim. She said she had a ticket which had been washed, and she asked Camelot if it was the winning ticket. She apparently never made an official claim that the ticket was the winning ticket. Which I think is probably enough to stop her being prosecuted. Lack of evidence. To attempt to defraud the lottery you have to make a claim.TTmonkey said:

Oh we all know what she's done and why, but if she hasn't made a claim then she hasn't made a claim. Buying ingredients to build a bomb and planning terrorists attacks is against specific laws. We all know she bought the ticket after the event and deliberately damaged it, but unless she confesses to this, where is the proof?

She sent the ticket off to Camelot for verification. Computer said No. She' should go to jail for being visually offensive at least....
As far as I'm concerned, however you dress it up, that is the same as making a "claim".
