Oops: Hundreds of Irish National Lottery Winners Wrongly Informed They’d Won a Jaguar XK



If you were lucky enough to win something in last Wednesday’s €4.4 million (US$7.3 million) draw of the Irish National Lottery and checked your numbers online, you were in for an additional surprise: that you’d also won a €150,000 (US$246,450) Jaguar XK convertible.

Unfortunately for the hundreds of €2 and €2,000 (US$3.29 and US$3,286) lottery winners, there was only one car to be won and it’s already been claimed.

The National Lottery has apologised to those affected by the announcement, which was caused by a glitch on the organisation’s website.

A spokeswoman explained that, “a couple of hundred,” persons were affected, though the actual numbers are not known.

Furthermore, the glitch only affected those who checked their numbers online and the National Lottery became aware of the issue as early as the morning after.

At least those affected still have their lottery win, even if it’s not a Jaguar XK convertible.
