£1m Clotto in costly misread
‘JUBILANT car salesman Steve Moseley went berserk and told his boss to stick his job – after MISREADING a £1million scratchcard.
Ecstatic Steve, 36, DANCED on his desk, THREW all the money in his wallet at colleagues and sent a junior out for CHAMPAGNE thinking he had won a fortune.
He then phoned his girlfriend to tell her he had quit and was rushing off to buy an Aston Martin.
But 45 minutes later his celebrations were cruelly cut short when he phoned the National Lottery’s claim hotline – and was told to take another look.
Shocked Steve saw he had mistaken a 16 for a 15 on his 24 Karat Gold scratchcard – meaning he had NOT matched two 15kg ingots.
And instead of becoming an instant millionaire he was broke and jobless.’
