- Kath Main claims her National Lottery ticket, potentially worth £12m, was mistakenly binned after being told it was not a winner.
- Ms Main, 46, had used the same numbers for 20 years and realised she had the winning combination for the 6 June draw.
- Her mother had the ticket checked at a Londis in Abercynon, south Wales, where she was informed it was not a winner and subsequently disposed of it.
- By the time the error was discovered, the bins had been emptied, making the physical ticket irretrievable.
- National Lottery operator Allwyn has confirmed it is investigating the incident, with Ms Main awaiting a decision for 30 days.
