A South Burnett woman has pocketed $100,000 after scratching a $5 instant Scratch-It from the Murgon Newsagency.
Newsagency owner John Robinson said the woman bought the $5 crossword Scratch-It and took it home.
“She was back within an hour,” John said.
“She thought she had won $10,000.”
However, when shop assistant Candice Sippel checked the scratchie, she realised it was a $100,000 win.
The woman bought the Scratch-it about 11 days ago, but the win had to be confirmed by the Golden Casket office, and this only happened earlier this week.
This is the biggest win that the Murgon Newsagency has sold for a while, but it is not the biggest win ever.
“Our largest Scratch-it win was $250,000 but that was some time ago,” John said.
The latest winner wants to keep her details private.
