For the first time in 11 years, Fairleys Lotto on Numurkah Rd, Shepparton, has sold a top prize-winning scratchie.
The $500,000 win was claimed from a $20 Instant Scratch-Its ticket bought by a Shepparton shopper who chose to remain anonymous.
Fairleys Lotto manager Helen Harlow said the win marked an exciting milestone for the outlet.
“We’ve been in the business for 11 years and this is the first time we’ve sold a top prize-winning ticket,” she said.“My team and I would like to congratulate the winner and wish them all the best with their prize.“After the horrendous year we’ve had, what a great way to finish off the year.”The Lott spokesperson Lauren Cooney said she was sure the Victorian player was delighted by their win.
“While we don’t know how our winner will enjoy their prize, we have no doubt they will be smiling from ear to ear knowing their bank balance is about to balloon by a few extra zeroes,” she said.
“Other winners have told us they’ve used their instant windfalls to upgrade their car, complete some home renovations, or shout their family to a great celebratory dinner.”
Between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2020, there were 151 Instant Scratch-Its top prize winners across The Lott’s jurisdictions who collectively took home more than $11.8 million in prizes.
