A KALEEN woman has scratched her way to a $100,000 instant win.
She told the ticket promoters that she was overwhelmed with “excitement and joy” when she scratched an Instant Scratch-Its ticket and discovered her win.
The top prize-winning $5 Crosswords ticket was from Gifted & More at the Kaleen Village Centre.
“I bought the ticket and scratched it straight away, like I always do,” the winner said.
“I was standing there, in the newsagency, and I just couldn’t believe it.
“I felt so excited and so much joy. It was an amazing feeling!”
When asked how she planned to spend the money, she said: “I’m waiting for the news to sink in before I decide anything.”
Gifted & More’s Cathy Chapman said: “It’s so great to see this prize go to a local and regular customer.
“This is the first top prize-winning ticket we’ve sold in a little while so we hope it’s a sign of more to come.”
