INFAMOUS Lotto gran Susanne Hinte has fitted an £800 jacuzzi at her Worcester home at the taxpayers' expense, The Sun reports.

The 48-year-old hit the headlines earlier this year after she staked a failed claim to a £33 million National Lottery prize.

Now Ms Hinte has treated herself to the luxury jacuzzi, around a month after it was revealed to The Sun she had a £20,000 car funded by the taxpayer.

The grandmother of four told The Sun: "It helps me relax and stay calm which I have to try and do because of my heart condition.

"I spent £800 with a builder and buying a Jacuzzi although I did all the painting and decorating myself.

"I am sure I will be criticised but at least my neighbours leave me alone now. Whatever I do I seem to get hated so I will close the door and relax in warm bliss."

The German-born divorcee Susanne shot to fame in January after claiming she placed a jackpot lottery ticket in the wash, obliterating the date and barcode.

Her hopes of scooping millions were crushed when the real winner stepped forward.

She has since appeared at court in April to deny stealing a pensioner's handbag.
