Thats what happened to a guy in England. The girlfriend bought some lottery tickets at the local store using the same numbers they always use. They forgot about the tickets around the 45 th day they remember and see the winning numbers posted at that store, their numbers. They run home but can't find the ticket. Over there they get 45 days to make a claim. So there is video of her getting the ticket, but the host company won't payoff on the ticket. Even Tony Blair tries to help the couple to no avail. The gal wants to forget it and move on. But not our hero, who won't let it go. After months and months of fighting between the two, she gave up on the relationship. Months and months after that he has a lawsuit ready to go but then he finds out if he loses suit he has to pay their legal fees. In the hundred of thousands of dollars. He drops the lawsuit.
He looks back on what he has, the love from his family. And other benficial supports that make his life good. Yes there is much to be thankfull for. But he had a big loss with the exit of his girlfriend. He needed this experience to educate himself on what is really important in his life.
