The EuroMillions game.

SEBASTIEN SALOM-GOMIS / SIPA
A young couple from Great Britain almost became a multimillionaire on February 26.
Rachel Kennedy, 19, and her boyfriend Liam McCrohan, 21, had been playing the same numbers at EuroMillions for five weeks: 6, 12, 22, 29 and 33, with the two stars, 6 and 11.
It is this combination that allowed a Swiss to win the 210 million euros at stake that day.
The two Britons have, in fact, not touched a penny.
And for good reason, the young woman forgot to play that day, reports the media
LADbible
, relayed by
Capital.
Not very resentful, his companion posted this message on his Twitter account: "When your partner decides not to play Euromillions ... and her usual 7 numbers come out", accompanied by a photo.
Forgetting due to stress
A post that quickly went viral and liked 35,000 times in two days.
The young woman explained that she usually played this combination, but that she had lived a complicated week: "I was stressed by work at the university, so I completely forgot to buy a ticket".
The
Mirror
newspaper
indicates for its part that she did not have enough money in her online lottery account, which allowed her to automatically buy a ticket for the lottery with the same combination.
“Everything happens for a good reason, we are not richer or poorer than this morning.
I hope it will be for someone who desperately needs it, ”said Rachel Kennedy philosophically.
