A Bald Hills man has admitted he was stunned to discover his spontaneous Instant Scratch-Its purchase led him to a top prize win worth $10,000.
 
The north Brisbane resident’s winning $1 Filly Fortunes ticket was purchased at Friendly Grocer Bald Hills, Shop 1, 16 Rothbury Street, Bald Hills.
 
When we reached out to confirm his prize, the ecstatic winner shared he was looking forward to surprising his family with a new set of wheels.
 
“I still can’t believe it!” he cheered.
 
“It’s mind-boggling to think that a spontaneous decision to buy a $1 Instant Scratch-Its ticket led me to $10,000.
 
“I’ll be honest, I don’t usually purchase Instant Scratch-Its tickets. This was a completely spur-of-the-moment decision!
 
“Maybe I will start buying tickets more frequently now.
 
“The win couldn’t have come at a better time as our family needs another car.
 
“It will be a surprise for my kids. We’re planning to surprise them over lunch.”
 
The Friendly Grocer Bald Hills owner Gavin Wang shared he was extremely excited and proud to hear his outlet had sold its first top prize-winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
 
“It’s a great feeling to know that someone’s life has been changed for the better by playing at our store,” he said.
 
“This is our first Instant Scratch-Its top prize win since we took over the store nearly one year ago.
 
“We’re grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of this exciting moment!
 
“I want to send my warmest congratulations to the lucky winner! I hope this big win brings you all the happiness and opportunities you’ve dreamed of. Enjoy this amazing moment and thank you for choosing to support our store!”
