A Speers Point shopper is heading into the weekend $100,000 richer after scratching one of the top prizes of $100,000 on a $5 Crosswords Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
The winning ticket was purchased at Speers Point Newsagency, 178 Main Road, Speers Point.
However, how the winner plans to spend their $100,000 instant windfall will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
Speers Point Newsagency owner Jan Ashworth couldn’t help but exclaim when she heard the news her outlet had sold a top prize winning Instant Scratch-Its.
“Oh wacko! That’s great news!” she exclaimed excitedly.
“It’s great to hear a local has won a good amount of money!”
“We sold a division one winning entry worth $1 million in November so it looks like we are a lucky store at the moment.
“Let’s hope there is another winner soon!”
Instant Scratch-Its spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said the Speers Point 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 seeds lots of wonderful possibilities,” she said.
“We look forward to crowning more Instant Scratch-Its winners as there are still a colossal number of prizes across all tiers with Instant Scratch-Its.
“Imagine what you could do with an additional $100,000 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 can happen in an instant. It could happen to you.
