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.
