Comment on Thousands in Norway told they had won life-changing sums in lottery errorparent

The error wasn't made in any of the 'important' paths that dealt with real winnings or real money (which I assume are heavily tested) but 'only' on the notification on the mobile app. Apparently if you logged into your account on their website you would see the correct amount. So I'm guessing the bug in this case might have been something as simple as typo in a string formatting template, that wasn't tested.
