Hey @paddypower why don’t you make an amusing video about this ? 🤔

[Aisar @aisarcore]

A gardener’s iPad showed she’d won £1.1 MILLION on a Paddy Power game. They paid her £20,265.14 and said the screen was wrong. Four and a half years later, a High Court judge ruled the screen was right.

– Corrine Durber was a gardener from Gloucestershire, England.

– In October 2020 she was playing a Paddy Power game called Wild Hatter on her iPad. It combines a fruit machine with a wheel-of-fortune bonus round.

– She won the first stage, moved to the next level, and spun the jackpot wheel.

– The screen showed the “Monster Jackpot” of £1,097,132.71.

– She took a screenshot.

– Paddy Power paid her £20,265.14, the amount for the smaller “Daily Jackpot,” and gave no explanation.

– She complained to the company the same evening.

– Paddy Power said a programming error had made the screen show the wrong prize. Its random number generator, it said, had only selected the Daily Jackpot.

– Its terms and conditions said the generator’s result was final and that it wasn’t liable for system errors.

– That was the whole problem. Paddy Power wrote the game, ran the software that picked the result, wrote the rules, and then decided which number counted when its own screen disagreed with its own system.

– A prediction market doesn’t work that way. There’s no house writing the game or choosing the result afterward.

– You trade against another person at a price someone actually agreed to, and your payout comes from the person on the other side, not from a company deciding the number on your screen was a mistake.

– She sued for breach of contract.

– In March 2025, Mr Justice Ritchie granted summary judgment in her favor, so there was no full trial.

– His 62-page ruling found that human error in mapping the game’s software caused the on-screen result to differ from the generator’s. It affected 14 plays over 48 days.

– The judge said customers expect the house to pay if they bet on number 13 and the ball lands on 13.

– He found the terms unfair and unenforceable under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and not part of her contract.

– He also said it was unfair to place all the risk on the consumer for the company’s own errors, negligence, and inadequate testing.

– She said the judge confirmed she had “fairly and squarely won £1 MILLION.”

– She said Paddy Power had “tried their very best to deny me my rightful winnings.”

– She said she would never bet with them again.

A gardener hit £1.1 MILLION on her iPad, was paid £20,000 instead, and spent four and a half years in court proving the screen was right.

Dennis Hutchings was 80, in a Belfast dock, on dialysis between hearings, answering for a shot fired in 1974. Forty-seven years. He died of Covid before the case finished.

The 2023 Act was meant to stop anyone doing that again. Conditional immunity for those who cooperated with the truth body. A line drawn, finally, under men in their eighties.

On 21 January 2026, Division 417, 373 to 106, Phillipson voted to take it away. Eighty-eight Conservatives went the other way.

Two hundred and fifty thousand served in Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Secretary says prosecutions have been “very, very small.” Correct, and beside the point. Small is not the same as closed.

Here is the thing about the ultimate sacrifice. The dead are finished. Nothing further can be done to them. It is the survivors who get fitted for courtrooms at eighty, and the post is written as though a poppy settles it.

She voted to reopen it, then remembered them.

[NTSB Newsroom @NTSB_Newsroom]

NTSB investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet 60 that crashed on Nov. 1 near Greenacres, Florida. The CVR was located at the site of initial impact.​ The CVR is being evaluated in the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C. The excavation work at the impact site has been completed.

Hi all, I am trying to locate Royal Navy CPO Med Tech (Medical Technician) (Lab) Stuart McKinley or McKinlay. He served during the Falklands War and was based at the Field Hospital at Ajax Bay. If anyone has contact with him, I'd really appreciate being put in touch. It’s just a chat about his time at Ajax Bay. I know it’s a long shot, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
