The southwest has another lottery winner, Rosemarie Rush the latest local to win big.

Rush, who hails from Ponteix and bought her winning ticket at Harron's Building Centre, says her first ever purchase of a SUPER SLOTS Scratch 'N Win ticket was worth $100,000.

“I always scratch the newest games first,” she said. “So I was really excited when the first ticket I scratched won so much money!”

The happy winner has a few plans for her winnings, beginning with paying off all of her bills.

“I’ve been looking at purchasing a new vehicle and I would really like to update the outside of my house,” she said. “But for right now I’m just feeling all the excitement!”
