John Pitt logged into his account after matching three numbers and a star in the EuroMillions draw
A pensioner says he feels "cheated" after finding out how much he'd won when he matched three numbers and a star on the EuroMillions.
The Everton man told the ECHO: "I thought, 'this can't be right' so I phoned the National Lottery. The man on the other end came back and told me that the prize for each outcome is determined by how many people won it - and then divided between them. He told me that that's just the way it is.
"They just do whatever they like and there's no oversight. It's unbelievable! The way they said: 'That's just the way it is' when they could have said: 'Oh, sorry, we've made a miscalculation and we've fixed it' - that would be better. The EuroMillions prize breakdown for Friday May 31 does, in fact, state that three numbers wins £6.60 while three numbers and a star rewards winners with £6.50.
