A BLOKE claims he once picked the exact winning numbers for a EuroMillions draw worth ￡105 million - but got the wrong day.
The man said his insides went "crazy" as he struggled to process "the thought of my life changing that very second" - before he realised he had bought the wrong lottery ticket.

He said he'd never made he mistake before
The unnamed man revealed he had instead won ￡5.50.
Taking to the Reddit forum Today I F***ed Up, he wrote: "I always buy my ticket via the national lottery app. I bought five lines earlier on this evening at 7.19pm (the cut off is 7.30pm).
"Three lines are my own picked numbers, and one line was a lucky dip.
"I don’t know why, but I always check my ticket the same evening before I go to bed, normally between midnight and 1am, when the app is updated with the winning details.
"I picked correctly the winning numbers, my fiancé is asleep next to me and my daughter is asleep in the other room.
"My insides are doubling over going absolutely crazy and there’s me doing everything in my power not to scream, shout and go crazy as I start to process the thought of my life changing that very second."
The man then rushes through all the things he and his family can finally afford to do - get married, buy their own home and the car of their dreams.
The post continues: "Then when going through the motions of how to start the process of claiming the winnings I realised I had accidentally bought my ticket for Friday's draw - something that I have never done before.
