A Kings Langley mum’s weekly routine has led her to an unforgettable $50,000 Instant Scratch-Its win, declaring this Christmas will be the best one yet.

The top prize winning $4 Rio Bingo Plus Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Kings Langley Newsagency, Shop 4, Kings Langley Shopping Centre, Corner of James Cook Drive & Ravenhill Street, Kings Langley.

Sharing her excitement with an official from The Lott this morning, the thrilled winner recounted the moment she discovered her win.

“I usually buy myself a couple of scratchies every week,” she explained.

“I decided to mix it up a little bit with the tickets I chose.

“I scratched them as soon as I got home. I was absolutely amazed when I saw that I had won!

“I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

“I was just looking at it for about five minutes.

“It’s just so much money. It’s very exciting!”

With $50,000 hitting her bank account in no time, she had no hesitation revealing her plans for her prize.

“Well, I just got a brand new car, so I will be able to pay that off,” she declared.

“Then I will really be able to spoil the children.

“It will be a lovely Christmas present.”

Kings Langley Newsagency owner Lily Zhou said the outlet had been on a winning streak.

“Just a couple of months ago we sold a division one winning Wednesday Lotto ticket,” she explained.

“We are so happy to see another one of our customers take home an amazing prize.

“It’s great news for us and our customers.

“Congratulations to them!”

In FY21, there were 176 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across The Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $14.17 million in top prizes.

During this same time, Instant Scratch-Its players enjoyed more than 31.2 million wins across all prize tiers worth more than $274.31 million. This equates to more than $750,000 won on Instant Scratch-Its every day.
