Lottery won with wrong number

Helsinki - A 30-year-old Finn won 1.4 million markka (£176,000) on the lottery with the wrong number. A television announcer, reading out the result in a live broadcast last week, got one of the 10 numbers in the winning sequence wrong, the daily Ilta-Sanomat, said yesterday. The erroneous sequence matched Mr Janne Moksunen's numbers. The state-run lottery only noticed the error the following day and decided to honour Mr Moksunen's win.
