A WOMAN was left laughing and crying after losing out on a £3.6million lotto jackpot thanks to a bizarre coincidence.
Nicole Makrigannis played the Set for Life lottery on March 18 – where the winner bags £10,000 every month for 30 years.
But after choosing two lines of numbers at random she checked the results online only to be left utterly gobsmacked.
The 23-year-old told the MEN: “They were all one above the number.
“I started manically laughing and crying. I thought it was so tragically funny.”
Nicole’s numbers were 03, 12, 20, 39, 44 with the ‘life ball’ 06.
