THIS woman believed she won the lottery before she checked and realised she made a silly mistake.
Aishwarya posted the moment on TikTok, and said she was initially speechless when she thought she'd won.
She said: "I think I just f****** won the lottery. My heart. I'm not even joking."
Aishwarya bought a ticket on a whim while in Adelaide, Australia.
But after checking her ticket, she realised what she thought was the winning number was actually just the number of the day's draw.
Aishwarya laughed: "I'm so dumb. The way I had it planned out, I was going to donate to charity, buy another house, quit my job.

Another said: "BAHAHHAHAHA AINT NO WAYYY I’d be silent for days."

One said: "It’s a humbling experience."
Former lotto winner Les Scalding scooped £45.5million after making a silly mistake at a Tesco checkout.
At the time, 58-year-old truck driver Les was unemployed and took a chance on the lottery to turn his life around.
In 2009, he told the Guardian: "My daughter lives in Abu Dhabi and every week after the draw she would come on Skype and say 'have you won yet' and I would say 'next week'."
However, the man admitted when he went to purchase the winning ticket he forgot his lucky numbers.
Unable to recount the figures, Les went for a random Lucky Dip – a decision that would pay off in spades.
He said: "When I asked the people behind the counter to check the numbers, the machine just printed out a pink slip, telling me to contact Camelot.
"I thought I might have won around £50,000, and I rushed home to tell Samantha.
"When we realised I had all seven, we nearly dropped the laptop."
Camelot later confirmed their dreams had come true.
The married couple were later photographed looking absolutely chuffed as they collected their giant cheque for £45,570,835.
