I can understand the taping, so it won't get confused with the regular tickets, perhaps.
Was the ticket in limbo? If it wasn't yet paid for but on layby is it still hers? Here in my state, they don't allow purchase of tickets by credit card. It has to be cash. I am wondering if it is the same in Ireland. I.e. future payments after the date of drawing may not be okay.
Are there details we don't know about not mentioned here?

so hold up she didt buy the ticket. but the question is did she have money to pay for it, did she tell her section manager, team leader or duty manager that she was going to buy it, how come tesco only found out that she wanted to buy the ticket after this, i think that tesco should just let her try her hardest to sue them, and after tesco should just give the money to the charity. any wonder tesco wouldt comment further there prob laughing to hard.

I wish i was next in line after that customer for a 9 euro lotto ticket, and i bet she would have sold it to me too.

She won nothing! and so she should get nothing! If the ticket was a loser would she have paid the 9e for it anyway? Not at all! not hers and never was

I agree with Trealach. If she really considered the ticket her own, why would she tape it to the side of her cash register? Yeah, I don't think so. . .

If she didn't actually pay for the ticket, then I don't see how she has a legitimate claim. "Intent" has no basis in civil law in Ireland.
