A woman gets a €2.6 million prize in a spam box

Laura Spears, who lives in Michigan, USA, bought a lottery ticket on December 31, but found out that she had won the prize of about 2.6 million euros weeks later, when she opened the spam box in your email account.

“I saw an ad on Facebook that the Mega Millions jackpot was going up, so I logged into my account and bought a ticket,” said Spears, 55.

“A few days later I was looking for a missing email and went to the spam folder in my email account. That’s when I saw an email from the Michigan Lottery telling me I had won a prize. I didn’t want to believe what I was reading. Then I logged in To my lottery account to confirm the email. I still can’t believe I won that much money.”

Laura Spears, who took the prize at the Michigan Lottery Headquarters last week, said she intends to share the prize with her family members and is retiring early.

“I have already added the Michigan Lottery to my safe address list in case I get lucky again in the future and get another prize,” he said.
