Feeling cheeky asking Aunty for money ...would you say anything?

My aunty lives abroad
For some reason on Christmas /easter she puts £100 or £200 in my account
I tell her every time not too but she says my mum isn't here anymore so she likes to treat me (I'm mid 30s)
We only speak now via email as she has no landline
Anyway she emailed saying
I've just put some money in your account (email last night ) hope you got it okay as my stupid computer wasn't working properly
Anyway nothing in my bank
I feel rude saying -no haven't received anything
It's like me begging for money isn't it?
But at the same time I don't like the idea of her possibly transferring money to a wrong account and her loosing out.
What do I do ?
Mention it or not ?

Just say:

Hi auntie, just updating you that no money has gone into my bank account, I really don't expect money from you (although it is extremely kind of you), but just want to make sure the money isn't lost from your account as you may need to sort that with the bank x

just tell her - honestly she would want you to

I would wait until tomorrow, the Easter double bank holidays mess everything up! I usually get my maintenance from my ex on a Monday but it's not in today, I know it'll be in tomorrow though.
