I won lottery jackpot after buying ticket for silly reason – I thought I broke the machine when it said I’d won
A LUCKY punter has recalled the moment she won £82,000 on the lottery - having first thought she broke the ticket terminal.
The woman, from Adelaide, Australia, was left shocked when she checked her slip for the Keno Spot 9 jackpot draw last Saturday.
“I was in a bit of shock!” she said, recalling the winning moment with officials from the Lott.
“I wasn’t having the best day, so I decided to put a ticket on and treat myself to a nail manicure.
“After I got my nails done, I went to Woolworths to pick up some groceries and I came back to check my Keno Spot 9 ticket at the local newsagency.
“I thought I broke the lottery machine when I went to scan my ticket because it came up something I’ve never seen before – something out of the ordinary!
