A young Bundaberg woman who bought everyone in her family, including herself, Instant Scratch-Its tickets for Christmas was stunned to discover her ticket revealed a $150,000 prize.
Her winning $10 Jumbo Crosswords Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Lucky Dollar Newsagency, 73 Bourbong Street, Bundaberg.
“It’s kind of crazy!” the winning woman explained to an official from The Lott.
“I actually bought a few of these tickets as gifts for my family for Christmas and I also bought myself one.
“Then, on Christmas Eve, we scratched them.
“At first, I was counting the words and thought I’d won a smaller prize.
“But then we kept checking the ticket and would find an extra word.
“Then I was like, ‘no way! That’s the top prize!’.
“My family didn’t win anything on their tickets, but they were very happy for me.
“It’s quite a boost going into the new year.
“I’ll be debt free and the rest of the prize I’ll use for savings until I get a better idea of how best to use it.”
