In Australia, a woman named Chantelle shared a photo of herself with her winning ticket on Facebook, and moments later, someone used the barcode visible in the photo to claim her $825 prize.

According to Triple M report, Chantelle, from Perth, attended the famous Melbourne Cup horse race and placed a 100-to-1 bet on Prince Of Penzance. When the horse won the race, her ticket was worth $825.

Unfortunately, what Chantelle didn’t realize was that the barcode in the photo can be used at an automated machine to claim the prize, and that’s exactly what someone did after seeing the photo she posted.

“To the low life who is obviously my friend on Facebook and used my photo to claim our winnings. You’re a massive dick. You ruined my day,” Chantelle wrote in a follow-up post on her social media account.
