A grandmother of four has claimed she won the the £33million Lotto jackpot, yet accidentally washed the winning ticket in a pair of jeans. And Susanne Hinte, who has a heart condition and is 48 years old, is devastated. She has already been getting phone calls from people asking her for money.

Commented her daughter on the situation:

She has never said ‘I’ve won the lottery’, she’s said she has the winning numbers and I’ve seen them. She’s already had begging letters from people asking for money. She works and has worked all her life but I’m not saying what she does. She has two children and four grandchildren.

If she has won she wants to set her family up for life and she plans to give some money to charity.

She’s said if she is the winner, great. But if she’s not the winner, she’s not the winner.

The National Lottery is examining the claim and has advised her to send the ticket with as many details as possible.

The ticket has been through the wash, the numbers are visible but faded. She wanted to stay anonymous but obviously her name has got out through people talking on Facebook. If she has won the jackpot she will move house, we will all be gone.

When she found out she had the winning numbers she couldn’t breathe and she hasn’t slept since. My mum had my children overnight on the Friday before the draw and forgot to check her ticket because she was distracted.

Susanne will have to wait until July to get paid out if she has won the ticket, but in the meantime, she could try her luck again and pop over to HERE to get her hands on another one.
