An Australian man lost out on his share of a $70.4m Mega Millions lotto jackpot in America because of a time zone glitch.
The man, known as Mr G, placed his bet at 11:27am, (Australian Western Standard Time), just before Lottoland's 'advertised' draw time of 12 noon.
Mr G had no idea it had been drawn 27 minutes earlier because a time zone glitch displayed the incorrect conversion from US time to Australian time on Lottoland's website.
