A Portland shopper is likely dreaming of escaping the cold and going on a hot, tropical holiday to celebrate winning a $10,000 top prize on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
The top prize winning $1 Winner Winner Chicken Dinner ticket was purchased at Matt’s Lotto, Cards & Gifts, 102 Percy Street, Portland,
However how the winner plans to enjoy their instant windfall will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to stay completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
Matt’s Lotto, Cards & Gifts owner Matthew Jowett said he was blown away by the exciting news.
“Wow! That’s great!” he exclaimed.
“I can’t wait to tell all of my customers and staff! I can imagine everyone will be very excited.
“Hopefully this is a great surprise for our winner.
“While we don’t know who this person is, we hope they enjoy their $10,000 prize and we send them our congratulations.
“We can’t wait to sell more big prizes to our customers.”
The Lott spokesperson Ally Ramsamy said she was sure Victoria’s latest winner would enjoy every moment of their prize.
“We have no doubt this Instant Scratch-Its player will love celebrating their win and planning what to do with their prize,” she said.
“Other winners have told us they use their windfall to upgrade their car, do renovations on their home, or plan an exciting holiday.
“Whatever they do with it, we’re sure it will make their 2021 bigger and brighter!”
