A young Bundaberg man feels as though he’s found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, thanks to a $50,000 win on the $5 Golden Edition Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
The winner scored the Golden Edition $50K promotion prize on the $5 Golden Edition Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
To win the $50,000 prize, Instant Scratch-Its players had to enter their Golden Edition tickets into the draw on thelott.com by Saturday 14 May 2022.
It took an official from The Lott quite a while to get a hold of the winner, as he had been busy studying.
“I’m feeling on top of this world. This is pure gold,” he giggled when his win was revealed by an official from The Lott.
“I’m just at university now, and I’ve had to step out of my class to hear this news. It’s insane!
“I can’t wait to get home so I can celebrate. I might even finish university early for the day.
“This is so overwhelming – It feels like a dream!
“I’m so excited right now. I’d entered a few tickets into the promotion. I’m stoked I’ve won!
“I’ll use the prize to pay some of my student loans, and I’d love to go on an overseas trip.
“I’ll plan something with my family to celebrate, too. This is huge for me! It’s so exciting.”
In 2021, there were 157 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across The Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $10 million in top prizes.
