A disabled mother lost out on £3.6m as she changed her usual numbers

A mother of four children is kicking herself after she missed out on a big £3.6 million jackpot by changing her regular lottery numbers for one week only.

Lorna Hart who is just 45 years old at the time of lottery drawing changed her usual EuroMillions numbers which are 3, 25, 27, 28, and 29 for a lucky dip Hot Picks ticket, which generates a random selection of numbers for the main game.

Yesterday morning Hart, who lives in Gosport, Portsmouth, went online to check the numbers and she realised she could have won the £3.6m jackpot had she not decided that week to change her usual numbers.

'I thought I'd try my luck, and then I saw on the news about someone in Britain winning the jackpot so I went to check the results'.
