A Bundall woman can’t wait to accelerate her car-upgrade plans after discovering she won $50,000 on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket.

The top prize-winning $4 Monkey Business Bingo Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Ashmore News Extra, Shop 48 Ashmore Plaza, 146 Cotlew Street, Ashmore.

“It feels like an impossible dream come true!” the winning woman cheered when speaking to an official from The Lott.

“My mother and I purchase an Instant Scratch-Its ticket once a week. We’ve done this for about 12 months.

“We usually get a Crosswords or Bingo Instant Scratch-Its ticket for fun.

“When my mother called to tell me that we won a top prize, I couldn’t believe it.

“We checked the ticket over and over, then became extremely excited.

“Once we confirmed the win was real, we went to The Lott head office.

“I’m still completely in shock, but over-the-moon because it’s going to help us both so much.

“Free tickets and a couple of dollars are always nice, but a major prize feels amazing.

“I can’t wait to upgrade my car and get a more reliable vehicle.

“It all worked out perfectly, with divine timing.

“Thank you so much.”

Ashmore News Extra team member Alex Coniglio said his team were delighted to have sold another big winning ticket.

“It’s always amazing to sell a top prize-winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket. We’re delighted for them and love being able to give a win to our customers,” he said.

“We’d like to wish a warm congratulations to our winner and wish them all the best for the future.”
