"On Thursday morning, I had some missed calls while at work. I'm the type of person to never answer the phone from phone numbers I don't know, so I left it.

"After leaving the phone unanswered, I started to notice text messages and emails from The Lott notifying me to check my Monday and Wednesday Lotto tickets.

"I frantically brought up the winning numbers from the draw, and my entries to see if I had won anything.

"That's when I went white as a ghost, and I passed out. The two people around me at work started to panic.
