Woman keeps big lottery win secret from husband only for text to reveal all eight years on

A woman who kept a huge lottery win from her husband has revealed how the secret was rumbled after he saw a text on her phone.

The anonymous winner took to Reddit to explain that she had kept the $480,000 Lotto jackpot a secret because her partner has a tendency to waste money.

She scooped the winning ticket in August 2014, two months before marrying her childhood sweetheart, meaning she was still "legally single" and under no obligation to declare her new assets.
