Victoria Resident’s Unbelievable Scratch-Off Lottery Win

The Serendipitous Discovery

A resident of Victoria who decided to purchase an additional scratch-off ticket ended up with a substantial win. The woman discovered her cat sitting atop the ticket, which ultimately led to her winning AU$100,000.

A lottery enthusiast from Victoria, Australia, initially believed she had won a modest AU$100 from a scratch-off ticket. To her delight, this ticket actually secured her a life-changing AU$100,000 prize.

The fortunate woman from Reservoir, who has chosen to remain anonymous, shared an intriguing tale about her recent windfall. This unexpected success came from a ticket that had been under the watchful eye of her pet cat.

The Cat’s Lucky Perch

The lucky lady took a chance with the AU$5 Block-O Bingo Instant Scratch-Its ticket.

During an interview with an official from The Lott, the winner mentioned that she frequently tries her luck with the lottery and typically purchases multiple tickets at once. On this occasion, she initially planned to buy four tickets. However, noticing there was just one left on the roll, and with some encouragement from the shop clerk, she decided to take that one as well.

Upon returning home, she diligently scratched off all her tickets except for the last one, the fifth ticket. As fate would have it, this final ticket was the jackpot winner, bringing her the top prize of AU$100,000.

‘I had been searching for a while, and then it dawned on me that my cat was sitting on the ticket; the winning ticket was actually stuck to him,’ the woman recounted.

Initially, she believed the ticket had yielded only AU$100. However, upon closer inspection, she was astounded to discover that the AU$5 ticket had transformed into a remarkable AU$100,000 windfall.

‘When I examined the ticket thoroughly, I realized I had actually won $100,000. My reaction was, ‘Are you serious?’. I checked it multiple times. It was hard to believe,’ the elated winner added.

The winning tickets were purchased at Summerhill Post and Lotto, located at Shop 11, Summerhill Village on 830 Plenty Road in Reservoir. The AU$5 scratch-off ticket offers players the chance to win a variety of prizes. Following the AU$100,000 top prize, one such top prize remains available in this popular scratch-off ticket game.
