If I were the winner I'd try and locate them and give them £1m.
Sorry if already mentioned.

the random number generator responsible for luck dips will presumably be seeded from the time, in seconds. he would not have won.
This.
Mr. Bayford should stop crying and learn some basic Comp Sci.
They'dve probably both missed out if he had gone first.
EDIT... what everyone else said
It might be that his act of courtesy has cost him a fortune. "
"Perhaps" he let him in front, "might be"...what a complete non story.
I bought a Lucky Dip ticket in a completely different shop on a completely different day at a completely different time, perhaps my ticket might have generated the winning numbers. I should contact The Sun to sell them my story of what might have possibly perhaps happened.
EDIT - This is their front page story today, the front page! All the news in the world to choose from and they decide a man not winning the lottery is the top story.
Reading the article, I would have thought a more fitting title would have been "Lottery winner buys the sun everyday."
Only heard of this because the misses had This Morning on, the reporter said they both bought lucky dip tickets.
And yet the front page story is still man doesn't win lottery.
*although granted that one might have happened too late to be included.
That's becasue there was another high profile News International arrest today. They're hardly likely to report that, are they.
And well done for having all that money and still flying easyjet, :rolleyes:
This is why Murdoch is such a bad person to run a news organisation news takes a back seat to some concocted non-story that he thinks will sell
The one at the back is unlucky that people made him feel unlucky. Even if he went in first, he would not get the jackpot anyway.
Guess this is just a bit cruel and rubbing salt on some people.
Adrian looks like the type of big hearted guy who would do just that.
To be honest, I would too. I don't need £148 milliion
What if he wasn't even buying a lottery ticket ?
I should know better than to expect actual news from the sun, but I was still enraged for a moment!
