A mum-to-be who scooped an amazing USD 100,000 lotto win has told how she was so shocked she almost went into labour on the spot.

Martika Savoy, from Charles County, in the US state of Maryland, said she bought the scratchcard on the spur of the moment on a shopping trip.

Astonished 31-year-old Martika, who is expecting her fourth child, said: “I thought I was going to have my baby on the floor.”

Newsflash obtained a statement from the Maryland Lottery on 13th July, saying: “Martika Savoy of Charles County was excited when she realized she had won USD 100,000 [GBP 76,230] on FAST PLAY Winfall Doubler. Maybe too excited.

“She was so excited about her win, she thought it was going to send her into labour.”

They added: “The Marbury resident said her boyfriend always plays different scratch-offs and FAST PLAY games, but she is a casual player.

“She hadn’t played a game in a few months but said her instincts told her to purchase a ticket.”

Martika said that she enjoys travelling and taking her children to amusement parks.

But she revealed that she had not even told them about the win yet.

Most of the cash will be used on a deposit on a house but added: “Some of the money will go to my babies and my bills.”
