A LOTTO winner hilariously hit back at a troll who body-shamed her by wiping fake tears with £20 notes.
Olivia Love, of Glasgow, scooped £10,000-a-month for a year alongside hubby Kevin last month.

After the first installment dropped in her bank account, Olivia went on a huge shopping spree and enjoyed her "Pretty Woman moment" spending £750 in Victoria's Secret.
The 36-year-old's also been able to quit her job at a local supermarket, and hire a cleaner and gardener.
And thanks to her massive tax-free win, she hopes to build her dream career in wedding content creation.
Since going public with her win, Olivia has been speaking out about the life-changing cash in more detail on TikTok.
Many social media users have flooded her with supportive messages, but the mum-of-four has still faced cruel comments from trolls.
In a video, she said: "You see things like 'looks like she needs a PT', I'm assuming personal trainer. Or when they say things like, 'my bro's only with her for the money'.
"And when they comment on the things that I've spent the money on. It's pretty soul destroying to have this kind of bullying.
"Now I realise that I went public, so I'm kind of bringing this on myself. But I didn't realise that in announcing a lottery win [and] trying to change our lives by using the money for good, would end up with this.
"It's 2025, why are we still commenting on a woman's body?
"This is a happy time for my family. We're overjoyed, we're so unbelievably happy. And it has changed our lives for the better.
"But these people, with their jealousy and nastiness, are determined to bring me down. I've got a relatively thick skin, I've been through a lot of s***. And I've done my best to come out the other side of it."
Olivia made an example of one hateful message by responding with a hilarious video.
She wiped fake tears from her eyes with £20 notes she pulled from a Kleenex box and joked that she "cried all the way to the bank" while looking at a comment which read: "£750 in Victoria's Secret? For her? She'll look like a smoked ham in a thong."
Her clip quickly racked up 30,000 views with people left in stitches over her good humour.
One gushed: "Omg that has made me howl, perfect response."
"You deserve every penny", a second insisted.
A third echoed: "I hope you win even more money!!!"
A fourth wrote: "This is such a good reaction to this comment. AHAHHAHAHA."
A fifth said: "Love this reply!! Sod the haters. Enjoy your winning."
Meanwhile, a sixth added: "Best response!"
We told earlier how a simple email from the National Lottery team at 12.33am on May 16 changed everything for Olivia.
Before this, the mum-of-four was earning just £800-a-month working in a supermarket's customer service kiosk.

She was on Universal Credits to subsidise her eye-watering £1,800-a-month childcare costs and "dreaded" her council tax bill coming through.
She said: "My husband and I claimed Universal Credit because we needed help with the cost of childcare.
"Now, obviously, because I've won £10,000 a month for a year, I'm no longer entitled to that which, you know, quite right."
Olivia and Kevin won the second-tier prize on The National Lottery's Set For Life on May 15 after matching five main numbers.
The winning numbers in the draw were: 03, 27, 42, 45, 46, plus Life Ball 06.
'Set For Life' offers a top prize of £10K a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched.
Players can also win £10K a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers.
