EVEN without winning the lottery, chancer Susanne Hinte is still living a life of luxury.
In this video, exclusive to The Sun online, the 48-year-old puffs on a fag in a bubbling hot tub, sipping on a glass of champagne.
Next month the German born blonde, dubbed 'Lotto Gran' after she was caught trying to scam Lottery chiefs to get her hands on an unclaimed £33 million jackpot, will make her TV debut on Channel 5.
She'll feature in On Benefits: Life On The Dole, where cameras will follow her going about her daily business.
Susanne, who has an enlarged heart, gets a £500 monthly PIP plus around £600 in other benefits.
She was also given a taxpayer-funded Vauxhall Astra GTC worth £20,000.
A source close to Susanne told The Sun online: "Viewers will be granted an intimate look in to Susanne's daily life.
"Since the lottery ticket incident she's gone from gran on benefits to a celebrity gran on benefits - with a lifestyle to match."
Cameras followed Susanne as she attended radio interviews, and will also be granted a look inside the garden shed she converted in to a relaxing hot tub space after enjoying one of the bubbling pools while staying at the five star hotel Malmaison hotel in Birmingham.
Now it looks like fans could be seeing a lot more of Susanne - even though she reportedly turned down a £500 bid to star in an X-rated porn film.
The source added: "If her appearance on Life On The Dole goes well it could open a lot of doors for Susanne.
"There's no reason why this can't launch her as a reality TV star - there's certainly enough interest in her and she's got a real screen presence.
"Failing that, people might be so impressed with the shed - which she did all the interior design for - she'll end up launching a lucrative new career doing that."
She said: "After that experience I decided I wanted one. I set about converting my shed into a Jacuzzi room.
“After three weeks it is transformed to my own little oasis in my garden. It helps me relax and stay calm which I have to try and do because of my heart condition.
“I spent £800 with a builder and buying a Jacuzzi although I did all the painting and decorating myself.
“I am sure I will be criticised but at least my neighbours leave me alone now. Whatever I do I seem to get hated so I will close the door and relax in warm bliss."
In our video, Susanne certainly looks at ease as she enjoys a cigarette and a glass of fizz.
Wearing a flimsy blue bikini, she shows off the curves that saw her approached to be a lingerie model as her star soared in the days after the lottery ticket scandal.
