Fishy Email Lands $100,000 Win

If you’ve ever received a dodgy email and instantly deleted it, you may want to just check it a bit more carefully next time after a “fishy” email landed one lucky punter a big win. 

The 49-year-old from Kentucky, US, thought he’d lost the chance of a lotto win after scanning his ticket on the App only to find out it had lost and he hadn’t won the $6,000,000 Michigan Lottery jackpot.

But unbeknown to him, he was then entered into a free draw for losers where he won $100,000.

It was only when he got a “fishy” email he realised something was going on, and he checked his account again,

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: “I got an email that seemed really fishy at first. As I read it, I decided to check my Lottery account to see if it said anything about the drawing. When I logged in, I checked my entries and confirmed that I had one for the drawing.”

Speaking about his win, he added: “Even sitting here right now, it’s so hard to believe!”
