An Ararat woman is celebrating a $150,000 Instant Scratch‑Its win that's set to power a family holiday and possibly some home solar panels.
The Central Highlands resident bought her top prize winning $10 Bingo Grand Instant Scratch-Its ticket at Ararat Lott and News, 150-152 Barkly Street, Ararat.
"I'm still so shocked!" the ecstatic winner exclaimed when speaking to us.
"My mum is next to me, and she is about to have a heart attack. She's overjoyed.
"I usually always buy Crosswords Instant Scratch-Its tickets, but I recently saw the new Bingo Grand ticket, and thought to myself, 'I'll give it a go!'.
"Would you believe that I scratched the ticket on Friday afternoon and all weekend I was tossing and turning wondering if I'd really won $150,000.
"I'm not completely sure what we'll do just yet. I think we'll go on a family holiday and maybe even put solar on our roof.
"It'll get us ahead in life."
