A Shepparton local has confessed to feeling ‘all upside down’ after scoring a $100,000 top prize on a $5 Crosswords Instant Scratch-Its ticket.
Shepparton Plaza Lotto owner, the sellers of the winning ticket, Cath Connor said she was thrilled a local to the area had won such a great prize. “What a great time to win $100,000!” she exclaimed.
“We are always so happy when one of our customers wins, but it’s even better to know it has gone to a local.
Sharing his excitement with an official from The Lott today, the Goulburn River local revealed his winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket had been given to him as a gift. “I only play Instant Scratch-Its every now and again, so this win is a bit hard to believe!” he exclaimed.
“My daughter picked it up for me when she got herself some and gave it to me when she came over for a visit.
“I told my daughter I had won, and she was extremely excited for me!”
When asked how he planned to enjoy his instant windfall, the generous father said, “Well of course I’ll be sharing some of the win with my daughter. And I also have a son who will be getting some too.”
“Congratulations to our winner and his family. We hope they enjoy their prize!”
The winning ticket was purchased at Shepparton Plaza Lotto, Shop 1, 310 High Street, Shepparton.
