An Australian man who thought he had won a share of $US50 million in the Mega Millions lottery draw in the United States has missed out on the money because of a time zone glitch.The man said he lawfully entered the draw with Lottoland before the advertised cut-off timeLottoland had displayed the wrong draw time due to an incorrect time zone conversion
Mr G placed his bet at 11:27am on October 14, 2017, which he said was prior to Lottoland's"advertised" draw time of 12 noon . "The commission accepts that for a number of weeks of the year, Lottoland's advertised conversion of the draw time is not correct, however the US time is always advertised correctly," the report said.
Mr G told the commission he was not aware of Lottoland's exact cut-off time but his partner, Ms T, was"fully aware that there was a cut-off time and was 'surprised' the website 'accepted his money' as the bet was placed after the cut-off time," the commission noted in its report.
I once won the lottery ...then I woke up ...
