Petrie woman's dreams become a reality thanks to $200,000 Instant Scratch-Its win
A Petrie woman who had always fantasised about visiting The Lott’s headquarters for a big win has finally had that dream come true after her $200,000 Instant Scratch-Its win landed her directly in the winner’s lounge for the ultimate winner's experience.
The $15 Crosswords Book Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at IGA Strathpine, Shop 10, 451 Gympie Road, Strathpine.
The Queensland resident said she was still in disbelief when we reached out to her.
“It’s unbelievable. We’re still in shock!” she exclaimed.
“It’s always been a dream to win a top prize so I could visit the Lott’s headquarters and know what the winning experience is like.
“My husband and I headed down today and it was very exciting! I’m so happy that I really got to do it.
“When I was initially scratching the ticket, I wasn’t counting how many words I had. When I was almost done, I was thinking to myself ‘Oh my god. This is going to be big.’.
“The most I’ve won is $100, which I was pretty excited about but $200,000! That’s amazing.
“Thank you so much. We’re going to put some money towards the mortgage, then maybe keep a little for ourselves.”
The IGA Strathpine team said they were ecstatic to have sold a top prize-winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket to a regular customer and wished her all the best.
