Caboolture’s lucky $100k scratchie
A Caboolture woman is looking forward to retirement after a train journey led her to a $100,000 winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket on August 5.
The ecstatic winner shared that she was over the moon about her win but remained cool, calm, and collected upon discovering her good fortune.
“I feel guilty because I’ve been so calm,” she laughed.
“It’s still surreal. Even the news agency team member was so happy for me.”
The woman bought the ticket while waiting for her train on the way to an event and decided to pop into the news agency.
When asked how she planned to use her newfound treasure, the gleeful woman said she planned to spend it wisely.
“I don’t want to rush into anything,” she said.
“I’m sort of easing into retirement at the moment, so it’ll just be here as a nice safety net.”
TSG & Lotto Caboolture manager Henry said he and the team were thrilled about the winning news.
“I was very surprised and happy when I heard that we’d sold a top prize,” he said.
“I’m over the moon for the winning customer and hope this will change her life in the best way possible.”
Henry added that this winning ticket helps put the store back on track after a few hard times over the past year, calling it “a new beginning.”
