A lottery winner nearly missed out on a £1 million prize because she thought she had only won £2.40 on a EuroMillions draw. Jacqui Shannon, a charity worker for the NSPCC, was a regular player online and only realised she was a millionaire three weeks later when she went to top up her account with credit. She told 5 live: "I genuinely believed, when I saw the email, that'll be another £2.40 because that's all I ever won." Jacqui then went to buy another ticket when she was greeted with a message saying "congratulations, you've won a million pounds!" "I was at work and I was going 'is that six zeros? Is that 1000? Is it real?!' Once it's happened you don't quite believe it. I carried on my week as though nothing happened." This clip is originally from 5 live Saturday Breakfast on Saturday 3 December 2016
