They were pretty quick, just 15 minutes!

A woman who posted a selfie of her winning Melbourne Cup ticket - including its barcode - has been fleeced for her $825 winnings.

"Winner winner chicken dinner", read the caption on the photograph of an elated Chantelle holding her winning ticket.

...

Just 15 minutes later she took her winning ticket to the TAB only to be told it had already been claimed.

Wow I did not know you could do that, someone posted a TAB ticket for a Trifecta win on my Facebook feed yesterday it was only a $3 bet though it was a decent amount I am sure the bar code was included.
