Shock for Dublin mum as €20k scratchcard win turns out to be €200k

An overjoyed Dublin woman arrived into the National Lottery offices today to claim a €20,000 Scratch Card win – but left the building with a cheque for €200,000 to lodge in the bank.

The flabbergasted mother-of-three failed to register a vital digit when she scratched the card and only realised her €20,000 win was, in fact, €200,000 when she came to Lotto headquarters to cash in her prize.
