Jackpot: $3 million

He didn’t even hold this money in his hands!

Martyn and Kay Tott are the unluckiest people ever. They won $3 million but failed to find their lottery ticket. In this lottery, they inserted the numbers in the ticket on their own and Martyn and Kay were sure they had won: they remembered their numbers.

Computer records proved that Kay had bought the ticket and lottery managers were ready to give them the money but then they realized it was too late according to the rules: Kay and Martyn had applied for the jackpot a month earlier. Other winners who’d claimed their money without tickets earlier supported the Totts and even Tony Blair was against the decision.

Unfortunately, Martyn and Kay weren’t permitted to take their jackpot and their dreams about a beautiful life were ruined. Martyn grew depressed and frustrated while trying to find different ways to change the managers’ opinions. All in all, the couple decided to divorce.

Their money was the biggest unclaimed jackpot in the history of the lottery. Today, Martyn produces videos and short films.
