A Nanango man has been left dumbfounded and lost for words after scratching his way to an Instant Scratch-Its top prize win worth $150,000.
 
The South Burnett region resident’s winning $10 Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Nanango Newsagency, 64 Drayton Street, Nanango.
 
The overjoyed winner couldn't contain his excitement, rushing to celebrate his newfound treasure by whisking his wife away for a spontaneous celebratory lunch.
 
“Geez whiz! I’m still struggling to find my words,” he said.
 
“I’ve been lost for words ever since I scratched the ticket.
 
“I kept checking over the ticket to see make sure I wasn’t making a mistake.

“I keep scratching my head. It’s still so hard to believe this is all real. 

“I’ve always enjoyed playing Instant Scratch-Its tickets. I usually treat myself to one a week to enjoy over coffee.
 
“I’m going to go surprise my wife with a nice lunch out now that the win is confirmed.
 
“It’s going to help us in so many ways. Thank you.”
