A Caloundra woman has confessed her $100,000 Instant Scratch-Its top prize win couldn’t have come at a better time with the countdown to Christmas ramping up.
The top prize winning $5 Merry Christmas Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at IGA Bellvista, Shop 1, 2 Rawson Street, Caloundra West.
“I don’t know if the win has fully sunk in yet. I’m still in disbelief,” she exclaimed when confirming her instant windfall with an official from The Lott.
“It’s definitely come at a great time!
“There’ll be a few extra presents under the Christmas tree this year. I can’t wait to treat my family!
“I love playing Instant Scratch-Its and decided to go away from my tried-and-true ticket and picked up one of the newest ones.
“Turns out it was the right decision! It was meant to be!
“It’s been a bit of a slow period for us, so I’m just very thankful.
“What a way to start December!”
