New photo Swiss man declared a millionaire in lotto - only for prize to be taken away due to TECHNICAL ERROR

A Swiss man was declared a millionaire in a lottery on live television - only for the prize to be taken away with organisers blaming a technical error. 

Andreas Bürkli's name was pulled out of a drum and read out by German singer Herbert Grönemeyer on the television show Happy Day.

But lottery operator Swisslos later had to apologise and explain to the 'winner' of a million Swiss francs (£800,000) that a mistake had been made due to technical problems.

Ten lots had been entered into a final draw in the hope of winning a million Swiss francs.

In the television lotto, the names of potential winners could be seen on a rolling screen behind the presenter.

All ten potential winners needed to be ready by their phones in the hope of being picked out. 

But when some were not contactable, confusion broke out and a lotto official mistakenly put 11 lots into the drum manually, the BBC reports.

When Mr Bürkli's name came up, Grönemeyer called his number - but he did not answer either.

Swisslos said that an error had occurred amid a 'hectic rush' with extra names added into the drum. In the event, the extra name had been drawn out.

An official from the organisation said Mr Bürkli had taken his misfortune well and appeared to have been a 'good sport'.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
