Elle quitte son conjoint après avoir gagné 500.000 euros grâce à un ticket à gratter qui s’avère en réalité perdant
A woman left her partner in March after believing she had won €500,000 on a scratch-off ticket in Italy. It turned out to be a loser.
Oh dear! In Italy, a woman, convinced she'd won the jackpot with a scratch-off ticket, left her husband… before realizing the ticket was actually a loser. The incident occurred on March 8th in the town of Carsoli, as reported by the Italian news outlet TGCOM24.
It was actually the partner of the woman who had mistakenly claimed victory who had given her the scratch-off ticket for International Women's Day. And when they scratched it, the couple thought they had found the winning combination, with prizes that could reach up to €500,000. What's more, the shopkeeper confirmed to the pair that he had the winning combination.
Overjoyed to think they had won the jackpot, the woman and her partner agreed to share the winnings. However, things didn't go as planned: after depositing the ticket at the bank, the woman mysteriously disappeared without a word to her partner.
The couple mixed up two phone numbers...
As a result, the man reportedly filed a complaint with the Guardia di Finanzia, the customs and financial police, to claim his rights to the sum won.
And it was during the month of April that the couple were stunned to learn that the ticket was actually a loser, according to the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli, the equivalent of the Française des Jeux (FDJ) in Italy.
In concrete terms, the duo did not scratch off the numbers completely and even confused 13 with 43. Bad news for this woman who, in the space of a month, lost her husband and her 500,000 euros.
