From gift tags to stocking fillers, there are plenty of ways Australians could become an instant Santa with this year’s Instant Scratch-Its Christmas tickets.

With the Christmas season upon us, Instant Scratch-Its has released its limited-edition Instant Scratch-Its Christmas games featuring festive designs ideal for a range of gifts.

This year’s Instant Scratch-Its Christmas range features three different games:

  • $1 Santa’s Li’l Helper: an Instant Scratch-Its ticket that is perfect to use as a gift tag and features pre-cut holes to attach to your gifts and space to write ‘to’ and ‘from’.
  • $2 Seas’n Greetings: that can be used as a gift tag or a fun decoration on your Christmas tree.
  • $5 Warm Wishes: a ticket that fits perfectly in a card, a Christmas stocking, or under the placemat at Christmas lunch.

The $1 Santa’s Li’l Helper offers five top prizes of $10,000, the $2 Seas’n Greetings has four top prizes of $25,000, and the $5 Warm Wishes gives players the chance to win two top prizes of $100,000. In addition to these top prizes, there are also tens of thousands of smaller prizes across different prize tiers waiting to be won.

Instant Scratch-Its spokesperson Ally Ramsamy said the games offered a perfect Christmas surprise that could be gifted in lots of special ways.

“Everyone knows how hard it can be to pick out the right gifts and to find new decorations to light up the Christmas spirit each year,” she said.

“So this year we’ve released a Christmas range that can be used for both.

“Forget searching endlessly for gifts and decorations, give something that could be used as a gift tag, or a decoration, popped into a card or a Christmas stocking, or placed under a placemat that also offers the chance to win a range of cash prizes.

“If you want to put your creativity to the test, consider making a ‘Scratchie Tree’– a miniature tree decorated with lots of Instant Scratch-Its, or your own ‘Scratchie wreath’.

“Imagine someone scratching an Instant Scratch-Its ticket you gave them as a stocking filler, and discovering they’d won $100,000! It would be a Christmas they would never forget.”

Ms Ramsamy said the new tickets were designed to appeal to those who wanted to make their Christmas uniquely Australian.

“The $1 Instant Scratch-Its tickets feature five Aussie animals, including a koala, emu, kangaroo, kookaburra and platypus, and are fun and easy to play,” she said.

“The $2 Seas’n Greetings tickets have six different designs, all of them offering snapshots of Santa and Rudolph hanging out on the beach. They add the perfect finishing touch to any gift.

“Then for something a little bit extra, the $5 Warm Wishes ticket, which is a jewel-tone metallic colour, is a great way to delight someone special.

“So, if you’re looking for gift tags, decorations, stocking fillers, or a last-minute gift with no fuss, become an instant Santa today.”

The Instant Scratch-Its Christmas ticket range is now available at Instant Scratch-Its outlets in Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
