An Australian woman recently won a lottery jackpot of more than $70,000, but she had no idea.
Apparently, she ignored the calls from the Lottery because they came from an unknown number, and she thought they were from scammers!
The woman told UPI, "I received some phone calls and emails straight after the draw, but I didn't recognize the phone number or email, so I didn't answer or take any notice! I said to myself, 'It's definitely a scam.'"
"I ignored the phone calls and emails for a few days, and then, eventually, I decided to log in to my online The Lott account. It all started to make sense when I discovered I'd won."
The woman won a jackpot of $72,580.50, though she said she's still is thinking about how to use her prize money.
"I'll have to take everything in first and wait for the prize to land into the bank account before I can decide what I'll spend it on, but I know it will go to good use," she said
