An Emerald woman is convinced that her ‘good vibes’ have flowed back to her, leading her to a glorious Instant Scratch-Its top prize worth $100,000.
The Yarra Ranges resident’s Block-O Bingo ticket was purchased for five dollars at the Emerald Newsagency.
“I’m very well!” the gleeful winner said while speaking to an official from The Lott.
“It still hasn’t sunk in.”
“I don’t think I’ll believe it until I see the money hit my bank account.”
The lucky winner said she has already changed my bank account name from ‘Rent Account’ to ‘No Stress Account’ ready for the money.
“I’ve been putting out good vibes recently and it’s nice to see them flow back,” she said.
“For a while now, I’ve been feeling like I was going to win a big prize.”
“I’ve already treated myself to two new necklaces.”
“I plan to be smart with the rest of the money.”
Emerald Newsagency owner Carl Mardinian shared he was over the moon to hear one of his customers had won a top prize worth $100,000.
“We’re so happy to hear one of our customers won an incredible prize!” he said.
“This marks our ninth major prize since owning the outlet over the past 18 years. We’re really proud to have sold so many winning tickets.”
“Best wishes to our latest winner!”
