A Central Coast shopper has started the week with a spring in their step and a winning smile after scratching one of the top prizes of $10,000 on a $1 Treat Yo Self Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
The winning ticket was purchased at Lakeside Newsagency, Shop 25, Lakeside Shopping Centre, The Entrance.
However, how the winner plans to spend their $10,000 instant windfall will forever be a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
Lakeside Newsagency owner Phillip Chen said he was over the moon to hear his outlet had sold a top prize winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
“Wow that’s really good news!” he exclaimed.
“We have been on such a fantastic winning streak. Just last month we sold a winning Lucky Lotteries entry worth $200,000.
“We are so happy for our customer and hope this trend continues!”
Instant Scratch-Its spokesperson Lauren Cooney said the Central Coast winner was just one of many Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners from New South Wales in recent months.
“While we don’t know what big plans the latest Instant Scratch-Its top prize winner has with this windfall, we do know that for many of our winners, seeing that prize in their bank accounts offers a world of opportunities,” she said.
“We look forward to crowning more Instant Scratch-Its winners as there are still a colossal number of prizes across all tiers available with Instant Scratch-Its.
“Imagine what you could do with an additional $10,000 in your bank account!
“Many winners tell us they use their Instant Scratch-Its top prize on home renovations, family holidays or upgrading their cars.”
In 2018, there were 155 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across the Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $14.26 million.
The latest range of Instant Scratch-Its tickets are available now at NSW Lotteries outlets. It can happen it an instant. It could happen to you.
