A woman is suing Camelot lottery manager for a 1 1m jackpot she claims the company refuses to pay.
Joan Parker-Grennan was surprised to find out she’s won a 20 20 million scratch card for the Spectacular online game.
In the Internet game, Joan’s matches matched two 15s to win £ 10, but they achieved the jackpot by matching two 1 1 1 million £.
But when the 53-year-old contacted Camelot to claim her prize in 2015, the company said the game had a “technical problem” and that the 1 1m winning numbers had appeared in the wrong boxes.
Joan Parker-Grennan, 53, sued Camelot in court after the company claimed that the παιχνίδι 20 million Spectacular online game suffered a “technical problem” when it won a 1 1 million jackpot.
Seven years later, Joan’s accountant is now taking the company to the Supreme Court after filing a lawsuit last year.
Joan, from Boston, Lincolnshire, told the Mirror: “My lawyers have already offered them the opportunity to settle in and pay 700 700,000, .000 800,000 or .000 900,000.
“They took the game offline within a day after I filed the claim. “I was told in an email that it was a problem.”
The claims come weeks after it was announced that Camelot would be removed from the National Lottery license after almost 30 years in power, in favor of the Czech lottery company.
According to court records, Camelot filed its own claim in the Supreme Court against the Gambling Commission on Thursday for the ruling.

The company was also fined 15 3.15 million last month for three different bugs in its mobile app that affected tens of thousands of players.
This is a long-standing incident in which up to 20,000 users were told that their winning tickets were losing tickets when they scanned a QR code.
In Joan’s case, Camelot claims that the software behind the game behaved “wrongly” during Joan’s “victory”.
Joan 1 1 Million’s claim relates to “money owed under the terms of a consumer contract between the parties and / or compensation for breach of consumer contract”.
He plays with ideas about what he would do with any winnings. He said: “I would like a kitchen island and we could invest, but we are more likely to spend it helping others.”
Camelot said the incident involved “a very small number of National Lottery players who had a problem playing the 20 20 million Cash Spectacular Online Instant Win game over how the animated game would look.”
“The result of each National Instant Win Game is predetermined at the time of purchase and the animation is purely for entertainment purposes.
“The game was sold out in less than 12 hours when we realized the problem and turned it off immediately.
“There is a hearing in June, but the date of the trial has not been set yet.”
