BEAT: a minute away from $30 million

Translated from my swedish newspaper:

PARIS:
30 friends were celebrating: convinced that they've won $30m on the lotto. All the numbers they've been playing week after week were correct this time.
But the friend that was supposed to leave the lotto ticket changed his mind in the last minute and let the machine decide the numbers instead.
- Happiness lasted for 30 minutes, said one of the unlucky losers.
Today, the 30 friends from Mouscron, Belgium are raging and devastated. Some will try help from lawyers.

Sorry for my english.
What if it happened to you?

I guess since there were 30 people involved, and they played the same numbers every week, they had some kind of agreement.

Losing at the lottery when you should've won is the ultimate BBV.

LOL @ not being bothered to fill the ticket in....... which is fair enough really, they had the same chance of winning still, but it saved him the hassle.
