Mdm Zhu Yun Ping has vowed that she will never visit casinos again.
Mdm Zhu recently won a jackpot cash prize of more than $410,000 from the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) casino.
She has since received the money from the casino and donated about $300,000 of her prize to charities.
She is however, concerned that her recent win may have glamourise gambling and led people to believe that they can strike it rich by gambling.
In order to set a good example for others and to drive her message across, Mdm Zhu has now decided she will never visit casinos again.
She said, "I thought over it for a night before coming to this decision. I will never visit casinos again, be it the one at Resorts World Sentosa or Marina Bay Sands."
"I'm not a gambler and will buy 4D only occasionally when inspiration strikes, so I don't think this decision will affect me," she added.
Since her win, swindlers have been approaching her for money.
They tell her various sad stories, such as to repay their debts or to treat illnesses. But these people always scoot when Mdm Zhu tells them that she will contact her lawyer.
Mdm Zhu's win hit the headlines as many were intrigued to see a regular Singaporean like her take on a multi-billion-dollar goliath like MBS over her disputed win.
