A lottery winner nearly missed out on a 拢1 million prize because she thought she had only won 拢2.40 on a EuroMillions draw.

Jacqui Shannon, a charity worker for the NSPCC, was a regular player online and only realised she was a millionaire three weeks later when she went to top up her account with credit.

She told 5 live: "I genuinely believed, when I saw the email, that'll be another 拢2.40 because that's all I ever won."

Jacqui then went to buy another ticket when she was greeted with a message saying "congratulations, you've won a million pounds!"

"I was at work and I was going 'is that six zeros? Is that 1000? Is it real?!' Once it's happened you don't quite believe it. I carried on my week as though nothing happened."
