A Hampton Park shopper has had a kick start to the week after scratching one of the top prizes of $10,000 on a $1 Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
The winning ticket was purchased at Hampton Park Lotto, Kiosk 1, 55 Hallam Road, Hampton Park.
How the happy winner plans to enjoy their instant windall will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to be completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
Hampton Park Lotto owner Annabelle Johnstone said she was thrilled one of her regular customers had scored a top prize.
“We are absolutely thrilled for our customer! They are a regular to the store and it’s a great boost knowing we’ve made them $10,000 richer!” she exclaimed.
“We’ve put up signs to tell everyone we’ve sold a winning entry and so we’ve had plenty of customers coming in to try their luck and hope that they are next!
“The buzz has really helped our store so we are thrilled.
“Congratulations to our winner! We hope they enjoy their prize!”
The Lott spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said that while we may never know how this winner plans to enjoy their windfall we are certain scratching the win is a moment they’ll never forget.
“There is no doubt that instantly scoring $10,000 on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket would be a life-changing moment!” she exclaimed.
“Other winners have told us that in that moment they often can’t believe their eyes and it usually takes a moment or two to sink in.
“Once it has sunk in our winners tell us they often use their windfall to travel on overseas holidays, buy new cars or do some renovations around their homes.
“However our winner plans to enjoy their prize we are sure they will never forget the moment they discovered they were a top prize winner!”
Between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019, there were 118 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across the Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $12.14 million in top prizes.
During this same time, Instant Scratch-Its players enjoyed more than 27.6 million wins across all prize tiers worth more than $214.2 million.
