The dream of being multimillionaires did not last long, and an oversight caused them to waste the opportunity they had.
Martyn and Kay They are a British ex-couple who I played the national lottery weekly with the hope of becoming millionaires. For a moment they met that goal, but everything turned into hell when They started looking for their winning ticket to go collect the prize.. Apparently neither of them knew where it was stored and that was a real problem.
That morning, they woke up to the news that they were the winners of £5 millionsomething equivalent to more than 6 million euros. But that oversight did not allow them to collect the prize and from then on the problems continued for them. Seeing that no one claimed the prize, they checked the numbers a few days later and discovered that they were the winners, but They searched every inch of the house and the ticket did not appear.

How the couple lost millions
The company policy is clear: no ticket no prize. Therefore, even though they knew each of the numbers by heart and approached Camelot Group, the company that manages the lottery in the United Kingdom, the answer was clear, there was no 5 million prize for the couple. Another of Camelot’s arguments that they did not know is that the 30-day deadline to report a lost ticket had passed.
This story had a legal battle that lasted for years, but in the end it was of no use. Losing that ticket and the 6 million Euros introduced the couple into a stress that made them go into crisis. Thus their relationship began to be affected and Martyn confessed to having been on the verge of depression for months.
What happened to the couple after what happened?
After what happened, they earned the title of “Britain’s unluckiest couple”. Before the event, they had known each other 2 years ago, so it was difficult to face those discussions. From then on, they had a hard time finding peace and all they did was argue, so they agreed to separate and Kay moved out.
