A Seven Hills shopper is starting the working week $50,000 richer after scratching one of the top prizes of $50,000 on a $4 Bulldog Bingo Instant Scratch-Its ticket.

The winning ticket was purchased at A & J Newsagency, 63 Boomerang Place, Seven Hills.

However, how the winner plans to spend their $50,000 instant windfall will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.

A & J Newsagency manager Angel Shi said she hoped this was the first of many more winning Instant Scratch-Its tickets to be sold at the outlet.

“We were so excited when we discovered we’d sold a winning ticket!” she exclaimed.

“We are so happy for our customer and hope they enjoy every moment of their prize!”

Instant Scratch-Its spokesperson Lauren Cooney said the Seven Hills winner was just one of many Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners from New South Wales in recent months.

“While we don’t know what big plans the latest Instant Scratch-Its top prize winner has with this windfall, we do know that for many of our winners, seeing that prize in their bank accounts offers a world of opportunities,” she said.

“We look forward to crowning more Instant Scratch-Its winners as there are still a colossal number of prizes across all tiers available with Instant Scratch-Its.

“Imagine what you could do with an additional $50,000 in your bank account!

“Many winners tell us they use their Instant Scratch-Its top prize on home renovations, family holidays or upgrading their cars.”

In 2018, there were 155 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across the Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $14.26 million.

The latest range of Instant Scratch-Its tickets are available now at NSW Lotteries outlets. It could happen in an instant. It could happen to you.
