A grandmother-of-five quite literally danced a jig of delight after realising she had scooped $40million on the lottery - rather than the $40,000 she thought she had won.

Maria Carreiro, 51, only realised she had become a millionaire after her daughter went online to double-check what the jackpot was on Canada's Lotto Max.

She told the media that she was delighted when she thought she had won just $40,000 and that she had excitedly told her daughter about her luck.

But later her daughter double checked the jackpot on the internet and told her she had actually won tens of millions.

'I run up the stairs, and me and her run down the stairs, and she went on the computer. and said, 'Mommy [color="Magenta"]("Mami", more probably) , you're $40 million richer,' and I said, 'No way,' ABC News reported Ms Carreira as saying.

She told the media that she had run back to the store 'like a crazy woman' where she bought the ticket to check it for a second time.[

When asked what her immediate plans were she said: 'I am going to go for dinner with my whole family at The Mandarin [buffet chain], all you can eat!,' CBS News reports.

'That’s what I'm going to do and then I am going to go home, take a shower and go to sleep.'

"No more Laymon Plehge for me. No....no...."

"Suck on it, greengo beetches!!"
