Moreton Bay woman wins AU$250,000 from a lucky scratch-off ticket
A Moreton Bay woman has won AU$250,000 from a scratch-off ticket bought at a local newsagent. The life-changing prize came from The Lott’s Colossal Crosswords instant game. The winner described her excitement as overwhelming after discovering the win.
The winning ticket was purchased at Nextra Warner, located in Warner Village Shopping Centre on Samsonvale Road. The shop, owned by Russell Went, has sold major prizes before, including a AU$750,000 Saturday Gold Lotto win. Went shared his delight at another local success.
The woman’s AU$20 scratch-off ticket secured her the top prize of AU$250,000 (around US$181,100). She plans to use the money first to clear her mortgage. After that, a holiday is next on her list.
The win marks another big payout from Nextra Warner, a store known for selling high-value tickets. The woman’s plans include financial security and travel. Her prize will bring significant changes to her life in the coming months.
