Pictured: The battered Lotto ticket with no date that grandmother claims has won the £33million jackpot... as it emerges she 'previously tried to claim on scratchcard she dropped in puddle'

• Susanne Hinte, 48, claims to have washed the £33million jackpot ticket
• The Mail has obtained an image said to show a copy of the lottery slip
• Photocopy appears to show severe damage to most parts of the ticket
• Came as a former friend claimed Miss Hinte has previously tried to collect £200 on damaged scratchcard by saying symbols were smudged in puddle

Its six ‘winning’ numbers are clearly visible, but little else could be considered legible on this crumpled and torn lottery ticket.

The Mail yesterday obtained an image said to show a copy of the slip submitted to Camelot by Susanne Hinte – the woman who claims to have washed the £33million jackpot ticket in her jeans.

The photocopied image appears to show severe damage to most parts of the ticket – including the crucial barcode used by lottery officials to help establish its authenticity.

Washed out: The image of the photocopied ticket. The circle shows how the draw date has been obliterated by a tear

Its serial code and terminal number – showing where the ticket was purchased – are also illegible, while a small tear obliterates most of the information showing which draw the ticket was purchased for. 

The image emerged as a former friend of Miss Hinte told the Sun the grandmother has previously tried to collect a £200 prize on a damaged scratchcard, claiming it had been dropped in a puddle.

Miss Hinte told a cashier worker that she had revealed three '£200 symbols'. When the woman said only two were visible, Miss Hinte told her that the third was smudged in the water.

The former friend added: 'The episode does tell you a lot about her fantastical Lotto claim'.
