A Morphett Vale player can look forward to enjoying a weekend full of celebrations after scoring $100,000 on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket.

The winning $5 Crosswords Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Campbell’s Newsagency - MV, Shops 14 &15 / Southgate Plaza Sherriffs Road, Morphett Vale.

How the winner plans to enjoy their windfall will forever be a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.

Campbell’s Newsagency – MV owner Alf Spronk said his entire team couldn’t be happier for their winner.

“It’s fantastic news! Wins like this always create such a buzz,” he said.

“The prize couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person, so we honestly couldn’t be more thrilled for the winner, and we hope it makes a positive difference to their life.

“We would love to send our congratulations to the winner and wish them all the very best with their prize. We are celebrating alongside you!

“We can’t wait to deliver more big wins to our customers.”

The Lott spokesperson Ally Ramsamy said she was sure the South Australian was delighted by their instant win.

“What an excellent surprise for the winner!” she exclaimed.

“While we don’t know how our winner will enjoy their prize, we have no doubt they will be smiling from ear to ear knowing their bank balance is about to balloon by a few extra digits.

“Other winners have told us they use their windfall to upgrade their car, pay off their mortgage, or shout their family and friends 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 2020, there were 177 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across The Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $16 million in top prizes.

During this same time, Instant Scratch-Its players enjoyed more than 32.3 million wins across all prize tiers worth more than $281.17 million. This equates to more than three-quarters of a million dollars won on Instant Scratch-Its every day.
