A 43-year-old housewife from Melbourne, Australia got the surprise of her life on Sunday when she won $74,070 while fooling around the Internet.

Little did Lisa knew that when she accidentally logged on to her husband's real-money casino account instead of playing just for fun would win her real money.

Reports said that Lisa, a mother of two, thought she was logged onto her play-for-fun account at http://www.casino.com/au where she is a regular.

She won her first $920 after 20 minutes of playing. She said she tinkered around for another 40 minutes.

But when she hit the $74,070, it was then that she realised her "mistake". She had unintentionally logged onto her husband's real-money account and had been playing online with his money. After realising what had happened, she quickly called her husband to fill him in on the exciting news. Once over the initial shock of the story, he managed to forgive her mistake and took her out to celebrate.

Jackpots are a primary reason for so many players to play online. The chance of getting rich overnight is very enticing. For most housewives though, playing online slots is just a way to have fun. When asked about her remarkable win, Lisa replied, "I definitely won't be quitting my job as a mom. This is something I want to do no matter what. Having the extra money though will certainly make things easier for us now."
