A Taperoo man’s vivid dream about winning a major cash prize has become a reality after he scratched a $25,000 top prize on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
The winning $2 Sweep Stakes Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Taperoo Deli, 351 Victoria Road, Taperoo.
Speaking with an official from The Lott this morning, the elated man admitted he always had a feeling he was going to win big.
“I had a dream that I’d won a major prize and when I woke up, I just knew it was going to happen,” he shared.
“This wasn’t a normal dream, it felt so real!
“I had a gut feeling! I really, really knew it was going to happen.
“When I went to the outlet and saw this ticket, I knew it was the ticket that was going to bring me a major win, and so that’s why I bought it. And I was right!
“My reaction was exactly what you would’ve expected it to be. I was jumping up and down and screaming.
“It was the best feeling I’ve ever had. It’s beautiful. It’s amazing!
“I can’t believe it!”
When asked how he planned to enjoy his dreamy instant windfall, the South Australian winner declared he wanted to treat his loved ones.
“I want to spoil my partner! She really deserves it,” he explained.
“I will pay some of her bills and I’d love to take her on a really nice holiday.”
The Taperoo Deli team are thrilled to have sold a major prize to one of their customers and wish him all the best with his windfall.
