A Helensvale shopper has found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow after scratching one of the top prizes of $10,000 on a $1 Lucky Leprechaun Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
The winning $1 Lucky Leprechaun ticket was purchased at newsXpress Helensvale Plaza, Shop 2, Helensvale Plaza, Helensvale.
Whether the winner plans to celebrate the luck of the Irish with their $10,000 instant windfall will forever be a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.

“What a lovely way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day during the week, by scratching a $10,000 prize,” she said.
“We have no doubt this player will enjoy every moment of their instant windfall. Maybe their plans for 2020 will change after scoring this top prize!”
