An Ararat woman is celebrating a $150,000 Instant Scratch‑Its win that’s set to power a family holiday and possibly some home solar panels.
The Central Highlands resident bought her top prize winning $10 Bingo Grand Instant Scratch-Its ticket at Ararat Lott and News, 150-152 Barkly Street, Ararat.
“I’m still so shocked!” the ecstatic winner exclaimed when speaking to an official from The Lott.
“My mum is next to me, and she is about to have a heart attack. She’s overjoyed.
“I usually always buy Crosswords Instant Scratch-Its tickets, but I recently saw the new Bingo Grand ticket, and thought to myself, ‘I’ll give it a go!’.
“Would you believe that I scratched the ticket on Friday afternoon and all weekend I was tossing and turning wondering if I’d really won $150,000.
“I’m not completely sure what we’ll do just yet. I think we’ll go on a family holiday and maybe even put solar on our roof.
“It’ll get us ahead in life.”
