Nicole, 23, did her pick for the Set For Life lottery draw – part of the main National Lottery – for the Monday (18 Mar).
But she was gutted when the draw was made and she noticed her hilarious misfortune.
The balls drawn were 2, 11, 19, 38, 43 and 6, just one number less than the numbers she had picked.
Nicole, of Liverpool, said: “Oh my God.
“Why do bad things always happen to me?
“It wasn’t in the universe’s plan to let me live my life.”
Pal Adam, of Sheffield, stated: “This would be my 13th reason why.”
Another said: “It’s called ‘one off’.
“Usually means you’re really close to the big win.
“The universe is just testing to see how you’ll respond.”
Haleigh Bailey said: “No, this would begin my villain era not going to lie.”
Another added: “Just the words ‘set for life’ after seeing those numbers would’ve had me rocking back and forth in the corner sobbing.”
