some people are very lucky because they win by special circumstances. This is also the case here and I think it is an extra shock knowing that you won this way. This story is one with a happy ending and we must continue to play for our dream that can become a reality.

haha how impressive! A huge win, to change one's life and maybe she didn't know about the prize (here in my country if nobody claims the prize in a month, the money goes to the State!). I think it is an alert for many, that you have to check the spam just in case! It is not my case, but I will definitely pay attention in the future

sometimes the least thought things become a reality, we don't know when they will happen, but what we do know is that it is worth trying to play these lotteries, maybe you will be the next lucky one to win that amount of money.

I would like to play the lottery, but unfortunately I can't throw myself into several kinds of games at once. Here people earn good money in the other categories and it is interesting. I've played in the past and I hope to do so in the future. This woman shows us that people can earn in incredible conditions ...

I suppose that at some point she would find out that she was a winner, when she found out the winning numbers (unless she had forgotten about them). I think that in my case I would never have forgotten the numbers, but it depends on each one. Here too everything is quite late and I think they would never notify us by mail that we have won one of those prizes

you are very right, many lottery houses communicate with the winner by various means, but they always have a deadline and if the winner does not appear according to them is donated to charity, a similar case happened in my country, a person had won 10 million soles in the lottery of the tinka, they looked for a month and did not appear, the money was donated, always happens these cases, that is why we must always be attentive to that.

Yes, in my country there have been many stories of the winner not appearing, and when the deadline was about to arrive, he was found. Otherwise, despite having won the prize, one can lose it for not claiming on time. I think it's fine, but it should be a reasonable time, for when things like this happen haha. In this case the woman was lucky!

There are many cases of people who win a lot of money in the lottery and the winner does not appear, in my country there have been many similar cases, I do not know what happens to people who participate, buy tickets and give it as forgotten, always a mystery this.

these cases are a clear example that we must always be attentive when we participate in some lottery games, and not take it for forgotten, sometimes the worries make us forget things that are important like this.
