Disappointment over Euromillions Bet

Two colleagues from Ireland are devastated at a decision by a local bookmaker not to pay out a bet. The disappointment over the Euromillions bet comes after Tully’s bookmaker capped the maximum win amount at €50,000 per customer meaning the two workers didn’t get the full amount won. The pair have learned to their cost that the only way to bet on the Euromillions and be guaranteed a proper payout is to do so officially through the Euromillions Lottery.

One of the men Lesley Forde placed three bets, two for himself and one for a friend Oliver Gough on the Euromillions Lottery last month. All bets were winners and around €82,000 in prize money should have been paid. However Tully’s bookmakers have a maximum payout rule of €50,000 to one customer and because only one of the pair placed the bets the rule applies.
The pair have taken advice from a solicitor but been told because the rules are clearly displayed they have no case for getting the rest of the cash and clearly both men are disappointed and aggrieved.
The excitement of winning €82,000 on the Euromillions bet was amazing for the men but now both feel that the edge has been taking off the win by the bookies decision to cap the win amount.
Most bookmakers do have a similar rule and although it varies from bookmaker to bookmaker it’s always worth checking out the maximum payout limit before you place your bet.
Of course the only way to ensure you get all of your winnings on the Euromillions is to play the Euromillions officially rather than betting on the game and you can do that by clicking the banner above. Also if you do win you are probably in for a lot more than €82,000!
