A Hillbank shopper will no doubt be spending their week celebrating scratching one of the top prizes of $250,000 on a $10 Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
The winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at OTR Hillbank, Lot 92, Main North Road, Hillbank.
How the winner plans to enjoy their windfall will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to stay completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
OTR Hillbank spokesperson Kim Wimshurst said they were thrilled one of their customers had scored a top prize.
“There’s nothing more exciting for our OTR team than seeing one of our customers take home a huge prize,” she said.
“At OTR, we congratulate our winner and wish them all the best on their amazing windfall.”
Instant Scratch-Its spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said she was sure the happy winner was delighted by the news of the win.
“What an excellent time to score an instant win of $250,000!” she exclaimed.
“While we don’t know how our winner will enjoy their prize, we have no doubt this player will be smiling from ear to ear knowing their bank balance is about to balloon by a few extra zeroes.
“Other winners have told us they use their windfall to upgrade their car, go on a holiday, or shout their family to a great celebratory dinner.
“No matter how they enjoy their prize we are sure it is a boost to their day, week, month and year!”
In 2019, there were 199 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across the Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $9.7 million in top prizes.
During this same time, Instant Scratch-Its players enjoyed more than 27.1 million wins across all prize tiers worth more than $208.8 million. This equates to more than half a million dollars won on Instant Scratch-Its every day.
