A letter has been sent to a branch of Bargain Booze in Merseyside claiming to be from a ticketholder who has scooped £195million on the EuroMillions lottery. The huge jackpot was won on Ju;y 20 and was claimed the next day but the winner has decided not to go public.
However, rumours have been circulating that the ticket was bought at a branch of Bargain Booze in Formby. One shopworker at Bargain Booze told the ECHO: "I'm sure I sold [the winning ticket]. I remember serving one lad, I looked at the ticket and the numbers just looked right.
"Our boss is on holiday and we haven't heard anything from Camelot about whether we were the ones to sell it."
The shop has now had a handwritten anonymous from a person claiming to have won the jackpot with a ticket bought in Scotland. The letter reads: "Dear Bargain Booze,
"I don't know where you got the idea that the Euromillions ticket was bought in your shop. I am that winner and bought the ticket in Paisley.
"Just for the record! Mr J.U."
Camelot said the company could neither confirm nor deny the location of where the jackpot winning ticket was bought.
