I also heard once that when you win the lottery, a message displays when you access your account at freebitco.in, but since I've never won, I can't say exactly where the message is displayed.
means need someone to answer this question who has ever won that weekly lottery do they get email notifications about their winnings, i'm also ok with not getting notifications about lottery winners because i can still see them on the freebitcoin site live to make it look like a surprise to me, but if i win get notification that's great
