Woman sues National Lottery operator over claim she won £1m
Two numbers with a designated prize of £10 were highlighted on Ms Parker-Grennan's screen with a message saying: "Congratulations, you have won £10."
Ms Parker-Grennan says there should be summary judgment in her favour because Camelot cannot win at a trial. Barrister Philip Hinks, leading Camelot's legal team, argued that the operator was only liable to pay the "outcome of the ticket as predetermined" by its computer system. He said that was £10 - not the £1 million.
Barrister James Couser, representing Ms Parker-Grennan, said there was "no real prospect of the claim being successfully defended".
