A Kirwan man is set to surprise his girlfriend with an overseas holiday of a lifetime after he discovered he’d won an Instant Scratch-Its top prize worth $200,000. 
 
The Townsville resident’s winning $15 Crosswords Book ticket was purchased at Cignall Mountview, Shop N, Mountview Plaza, 32-50 Bamford Lane, Kirwan.
 
When we reached out to confirm his prize, the stunned man shared he couldn’t put into words how happy the win made him feel.
 
“This is life-changing for me!” he cheered.
 
“Words can’t describe how I’m feeling right now. I feel pure happiness.
 
“My partner and I have always enjoyed sharing a Crosswords Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
 
“It’s become something of a tradition over the years.

“I never thought I’d see this much money in my life. It’s crazy.

“We’ll be paying off a bit of our mortgage once we see the money.
 
“Funnily enough, we’ve never gone on a holiday together, so I’d love to surprise her with a trip.
 
“It’s always been a dream of ours to travel.
 
“I don’t think she’ll see it coming at all!”
