A Springwood shopper has the ultimate decision to make, planning how to enjoy their $100,000 prize after scratching one of the top prizes on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket.

The winning ticket was purchased at Springwood Newsagency, 190 Macquarie Street, Springwood.

However, how the winner plans to spend their $100,000 instant windfall will forever be a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.

Springwood Newsagency owner Vikki Moss said it was great news for the community and the outlet.

“It’s wonderful to hear that one of our customers has won $100,000, we’ve been due for a big win for quite some time!” she said.

“I hope it’s a local and regular customer. Whoever they are we hope they really enjoy their prize.

“What a fantastic time of the year to receive such a win. Congratulations to them!”

Instant Scratch-Its spokesperson Lauren Cooney said the Springwood 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 top prize winners as there are still a colossal number of prizes across all tiers in the Instant Scratch-Its range.

“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.”

Between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019, there were 118 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across the Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $12.14 million in top prizes.

During this same time, 4,182,602 winners pocketed more than $214.2 million across all Instant Scratch-Its prize tiers.
