A Seaford mum can’t wait to upgrade her winning grin with the first bite of her $100,000 win on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
The beachside resident’s winning $5 Jungle Gold Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Seaford Newsagency, 124 Nepean Highway, Seaford.
The Victorian shared she couldn’t get past taking home one of the two top prizes on the Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
“It’s definitely amazing! I’m still trying to process it all,” she exclaimed.
“I can’t believe – out of all the people in Australia – I scratched one of the two top prizes!
“I’m a regular at Seaford Newsagency and I love my ‘scratchies’. They keep me busy!
“I couldn’t believe it when I scratched the top prize. I had to go to my son to double check. I think we looked at it about four times.
“We went down to the newsagency to confirm the news, and we were so stoked when they confirmed it was a top prize.
“This will help us continue a normal life, but I’ve been unwell and have lost some teeth, so I’m really excited to go to the dentist and get a new set!
“I’ll also be purchasing a new car!
“Thank you so much!”
