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!".
