Carrum Downs woman’s husband rescues her $100,000 Instant Scratch

A Carrum Downs woman’s bank account has been bolstered by $100,000 after her husband saved her top prize winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket from the dustbin.

When I first scratched the ticket, I thought it was no good, and I was going to put it into the bin,” the winning woman laughed when speaking with an official from The Lott this morning.

“My husband said to me, ‘let’s just have a look again’. He did have a look and he said to me, ‘you’ve won!’.

The $5 Golden Edition ticket was purchased at Carrum Downs Lotto, Shop 28, Carrum Downs Shopping Centre.

The ticket distributor will get $10000 for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket
