It is not a good idea to post winning lottery numbers or horse race tickets on Facebook.
A woman named Chantelle from Perth, Australia, found this out the hard way when she won $825( £384) on a bet at the Melbourne Cup horse race.
She posted a grinning selfie on Facebook, including her winning ticket, complete with scannable barcode to celebrate winning $825, on a horse called Prince Of Penzance with 101-1 odds.
