Australian woman ignores calls, emails being unaware about winning prize worth AUD 100,000
Canberra: A woman in Australia neglected calls, not being aware that she had won a jackpot prize worth AUD 100,000. The lady who resides in Frenchs Forest, New South Wales, bought a lottery ticket on February 25, 2022.

The Australian woman then drew the lottery ticket at thelott.com, after which she engaged in her work, forgetting to check her account. The lady was not at all aware of winning the lottery and thus, was ignoring the calls of lottery officials, thinking that they were scam numbers.

Not only this, but the woman had also won a consolation prize worth AUD 1,000, which means that the total amount she won in the lottery is AUD 101,000.

While narrating the whole incident to a media house, the lady cited, "I received some phone calls as well as emails straight after the draw, but I did not recognise the phone number or email, so I did not answer or take any notice! I said to myself, 'It is definitely a scam'".

"I ignored the phone calls & emails for a time period of a few days, and then eventually, one day, I decided to log in to my online - The Lott account to check the update on lottery, it is then when I decided to It all started to make sense when I discovered I had won $100,000!", the Australian woman added.

"I then directly went to my husband straight away, and we were checking the results back and forth – we could not believe it. I will have to take everything in first and wait for the prize to land into my bank account before deciding what I will spend it on, but I know it will go to good use. I have been playing for about ten (10) years now, so I am just so excited to have won a major lottery prize!".
