A $25,000 Instant Scratch-Its top prize has a Point Cook man making the switch from driving on the left side of the road to the right, declaring his win will go towards a driving tour of America.

The top prize winning $2 Fishing For Gold Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Point Cook Town Centre, Shop 433 Main Street, Point Cook Town Centre, Point Cook.

Confirming his instant win with an official from The Lott this morning, the triumphant traveller revealed it was the most he’d ever won.

“I’m in disbelief,” he admitted.

“This is definitely the most I’ve ever won in my lifetime.

“I’ve never expected to win big on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket!

“The first thing I’ll do with my win is pay off my loans.

“Then, I’ll go on a driving tour around the United States in spring.

“It will be great to catch up with some friends in America that I haven’t seen in a while.

“I’ll also take my family out for some dinner to celebrate the win.

“It’s great!”

The Point Cook Town Centre team are overjoyed to have sold a top prize winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket to a local man and wish him all the best with his future endeavours.

In FY22, there were 139 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across The Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $14.51 million in top prizes.
