Ticket to $150,000 win
Words by Nick Crockford

A Caboolture woman has landed $150,000 on Instant Scratch-Its - the suburb’s second major win in just 24 hours!

Her $10 Crosswords Connect Instant Scratch-Its ticket was bought from Nextra Morayfield Village News at Morayfield Shopping Centre.

It follows yesterday’s announcement of a $53,000 Keno win for a Caboolture couple over the weekend.

When an official from The Lott spoke to the Instant Scratch-Its winner, she was still buzzing from the revelation.

“It’s so exciting. I’m still in shock!” she laughed.

“I couldn’t tell if I was reading it right. I was checking it and double checking it and quadruple checking it.

“I’ve been playing Instant Scratch-Its tickets for a little while now. It’s a little ritual I have, and I usually always choose the Crosswords games.

“I’ve never won something like this ever. I think the most I’ve won is about $150.”

With a six-figure sum heading her way, the thrilled winner was already dreaming of how she’d enjoy her prize.

“I’d really like to buy some land,” she said. “I also have a holiday coming up so I’ll be able to splurge a little more while I’m there!

“Thank you so much. It’s amazing!”

Every month, Instant Scratch-Its’ 2nd Chance Draw gives another chance to turn eligible non-winning Instant Scratch-Its into a winner.
