Sydney woman blocks lotto organiser after mistaking $10.2 million win for scam

A Riverwood woman initially believed a call about her $10.2 million prize was a scam and blocked the organiser's number. Dream Home Art Union general manager Ben Sawkins then enlisted the Triple M Breakfast team to reach her. Hosts including former NRL star Beau Ryan visited her home to deliver the news in person. The prize package includes a mansion in Currumbin on the Gold Coast, $400,000 in gold bullion and a Land Rover Defender. Sawkins said ticket proceeds support Australian veterans and their families.
