Thousands mistakenly told they won up to millions in major lottery gaffe as players forced to abandon splurging dreams
THOUSANDS of people in Norway were mistakenly told they had won life-changing amounts of money in a blunder by the lottery. Some were even told they had become millionaires and began planning new futures - only to find their true prizes were much smaller. 2 Thousands were told they had won huge sums on Norway's Euro Jackpot game Credit: Getty 2 Close-up Of Person's Hand Marking Number On Lottery Ticket With Pen Credit: Getty Norway 's state-owned gambling operator, Norsk Tipping, said "several thousands countries were notified of incorrectly high prizes" won in the Euro Jackpot. The agonising mistake prompted the CEO to step down. It arose from a calculation error when prize amounts, received from Germany in Euros, were converted to the Norwegian Kroner. The company explained: 'It is during this conversion that a manual error has been made in the code that is entered into our game engine. read more in world news 'The amount has been multiplied by 100, instead of being divided by 100.' The eye-watering prizes were displayed on the website and mobile app on Friday but later removed. No incorrect sums were paid out, Norsk Tipping confirmed. One woman caught up in the farce is in the middle of a renovation project and told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) she was alerted that she had won £87,000 - but instead received only a fraction of that. Most read in The US Sun Others said they made plans to buy cars and planned holidays - only to have it all snatched away. Lise Naustdal, who thought she had won £138,000, said: "It was a very fun minute." Man wins $800k at casino but is told he won't see a cent – he's being forced to sue for wanting to 'stay below radar' The company was hauled in front of the Ministry of Culture for an emergency meeting on Saturday.

"Here, things have failed in several places, this is my responsibility." Tonje admitted that "criticism is justified" over the "breach of trust".

'Therefore, it is also incredibly sad to leave Norsk Tipping and all the talented people who work in Hamar. "I will miss everyone I have worked with, but I am confident that all the improvement processes we have initiated are in good hands.'

Budget blow for thousands of Irish as €1k boost & one-off cash payments CUT in ‘roll back clock' move amid tariff fear

Read more in Money However, the Speaking on 'Things like energy credits were universally applied, 'The indications are – and we haven't entered budget discussions in earnest yet as we're engaged in the national development plan at the moment which obviously will have a significant uplift in MOST READ ON THE IRISH SUN 'So all of us in any walk of life have to play the hands we're dealt. Taoiseach Simon Harris speaks about Budget 2025 cost-of-living measures "If I don't have a cost of living package then I can't do those type of measures that we're talking about from last year.' Asked to clarify, the Minister said: 'The once-off supports – and they were phrased very clearly as once-off supports – are not being provided for as it stands because there is no cost of living package being made available. 'That may change coming into the budget. It's a matter for the Finance Minister more so than myself but that is what's coming. MAJOR SETBACK Senator Harmon said any such move would be a major setback for college affordability and a further burden on students and their families. She said: 'This Government is planning to roll back the clock when it comes to making college affordable. "Reversing the student fee reduction sends a clear signal that access to third-level education is not a priority for this administration. 'At a time when the cost of living remains sky-high and when rents in college areas are completely unaffordable this move would hit families where it hurts. It's completely out of touch. 'Last week, the Minister for Housing added insult to injury by rowing back on protections for student renters. Now, Minister Lawless wants to add financial pressure on top. "It's clear that this Government has no coherent strategy when it comes to supporting students." 'WHERE IS THAT AMBITION?' Labour is now calling for the Minister to urgently reconsider this regressive proposal. Senator Harmon added: "We have to ask – was last year's modest reduction in fees just a cynical vote-buying exercise ahead of the local and European elections? 'And what of the promises from Simon Harris, who made all the right noises about reducing fees to zero? Where is that ambition now? "Instead, students are being told to tighten their belts again while this Government boasts about budget surpluses." She continued: 'We need long-term thinking when it comes to education – not short-term accounting. College should not be a luxury. "If the Government goes ahead with this hike, it will be a deeply unpopular move from an increasingly unpopular Government." 3 As part of a cost of living package in last year's budget, college fees were temporarily cut by €1,000 Credit: Getty - Contributor

Sporting refuse to budge on Gyokeres fee – but admit Arsenal target WILL leave ‘unless he has worst agent in the world'
ARSENAL have been told by Sporting Lisbon they will NOT budge on their Viktor Gyokeres valuation in another transfer window hammerblow. And the Portuguese giants' president Frederico Varandas has 4 Viktor Gyokeres finally loos set for a Prem switch this summer Credit: Getty 4 Benjamin Sesko remains another option for Arsenal and Co Credit: Getty Boss Arteta was hoping to land the Swede for a bargain price, but Varandas has doubled down on only selling the star for a fair market value, citing Varandas has even threatened to keep Gyokeres in Portugal if Arsenal continue to low ball, hoping to receive close to £70m to seal the switch. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL He said: 'Sporting is very calm regarding Viktor Gyokeres. We do not need to sell him, but we remain sensitive to the dreams of Viktor and any of our athletes. 'After weeks of meetings, we are not asking for the release clause and will be reasonable regarding the price we ask for Viktor. Today, I believe there is a strong probability he will leave. 'We have been watching the market and I saw [Martin] Zubimendi, who is six months younger than Viktor, leave for £51million. "I saw Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, both forwards but who, in my opinion, do not have Viktor's market value or quality, being negotiated for around £64m. Most read in Football 4 The Swede amassed stunning stats in the Portuguese top flight BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Inside Arsenal's frustrating striker transfer saga By Jordan Davies ARSENAL'S never-ending hunt for a world-class striker is in turmoil as deals for Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres stall. The Gunners were confident of doing their business quickly this summer after months of preparation by boss Mikel Arteta and new sporting director Andrea Berta. But inflated asking prices and broken gentlemen's agreements have derailed those plans and left Arsenal frustrated. Sesko believed he would be allowed to leave RB Leipzig for around £60million, while SunSport understands Gyokeres was told £59m would be enough to seal his own exit. But those price-tags have gone up, leaving Arsenal debating whether they represent value for money. While the players' camps are also growing restless, knowing the Gunners can only sign one of them. So what next? Will Arsenal keep waiting in the hope of fees eventually going down? Or turn to other targets, like Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike? Whatever they decide, with pre-season looming and the fixtures already out, Arteta will be desperate for them to move quickly to avoid another nearly season. 'Given the demands we consider fair, I believe Viktor could leave – unless he has the worst agent in the world, which is hard for me to believe, because he is one of the best footballers in the world. 'The player knows, the agent knows, and I can guarantee, with absolute certainty, that Viktor will not leave for £60m.' Liverpool's £100m Barcola bid / Gyokeres forces Man Utd move / Grealish City axe | Transfers Exposed Christian Norgaard to Arsenal LATEST | Transfers Exposed United – who are also monitoring Gyokeres' situation – have already signed Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m this summer and have also seen multiple bids rejected for Mbeumo. Arsenal are set to announce the arrival of midfielder Zubimendi, and are in talks to sign Valencia centre back Christian Mosquera for around £20m. Varandas said: 'If Viktor stays, we will be very, very happy – and it will be a problem for our rivals. 'We are completely prepared to move for our target if Viktor leaves.' Gyokeres is currently on holiday after international duty with Sweden and is due to report back for pre-season in Lisbon on July 7 unless a deal is struck before then. Arsenal are in a similar mess with 22-year-old Sesko, who is angry over Leipzig's hard-ball stance, demanding £70m despite a lower initial gentleman's agreement in January. 4
