Nervous wait for UK grandmother of four after lottery ticket ends up in wash

An English woman who has claimed she has the missing £33 million winning lottery ticket but put it through the wash has been named.

Susanne Hinte, a grandmother of four, came forward after it was announced that the winning numbers had been selected in Worcester and residents had been told to “check down the side of sofas”.

The woman claims the paper slip went through the washing machine in the pocket of a pair of jeans.
