Scratch card error costs £100,000
A mail driver threw away a £100,000 winning scratch card because he misunderstood the rules of the game.
Cemal Celikkanat, 38, said he thought the three 100,000 symbols on Camelot's 100,000 Blue game had to be in a line to win.
Mr Celikkanat, from Dronfield, near Sheffield, who works as a driver for Royal Mail, bought the winning ticket at a store in south Sheffield but threw it away outside the shop when he thought he had lost. He realised his mistake a day later but the bin had been emptied.
National Lottery operators Camelot will only pay out if the winning scratch card is produced.
