How can I re-download Lion from apple store?

I just puchases Snow Leopard in order to upgrade to Lion. I had purchased Lion for my Imac desktop from the Apple Store. I have read items on how to redownload from the apple store with no success. I have seen where you go to purchases and hold down the option key and click purchases and it should show Lion. It did not work. Any other ideas?

The 'someone" who sent you a screen shot was me.   The reason that Lion does not show up is, as I wrote, because it self deletes on completion of the download.
To see hidden purchases you need to sign in to your account ... Apple Logo > App store > menu bar 'Store' > View my account.
The page that comes up will be Account Information.   There are 3 sub sections.
Apple ID summary, iTunes in the cloud and settings.   To the right of iTunes in the cloud is a reference to view Hidden purchases.  Click on that, and if you have any they will show.
If these details are still not clear enough you could as a last resort contact ...
iTunes support.     http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    or
