A lucky person who bought a 100-lira scratch card from a gambling outlet in Edirne won an 8 million lira prize. Sevda Çetin, one of the outlet's partners, said, "He was so calm that he didn't get excited at all."
A lucky person bought a 100 lira 'Scratch & Win' ticket from a lottery shop on Saraçlar Street in Edirne last Wednesday. When the citizen scratched the card and saw that they had won the grand prize of 8 million lira, they couldn't believe it and asked Sevda Çetin, one of the shop's partners, to confirm it. Çetin, who scanned the card into the machine, confirmed that 8 million had come up and returned it to the citizen.
'HE WAS VERY CALM, DIDN'T GET EXCITED AT ALL'
Çetin, stating that the citizen who won the grand prize was a regular customer of theirs, said, "Our brother used to play Scratch & Win with us constantly. That day he played games again. He tried every kind of Scratch & Win. He said, 'Am I seeing correctly?' I honestly wasn't expecting a big prize. 20, 30, 50 thousand were coming out a lot. I thought it was something like that. I inserted the card into the screen. I looked and saw 8 million, I said 'You saw correctly.' He was so calm that he didn't get excited at all. He asked me about the process; 'What will we do? What will we do?' he said. We explained the process. We told him they would receive the big prizes from Istanbul. I also gave him the payment slip, and then he left," she said.
"100 LIRA SCRATCH & WIN CARDS ARE SELLING OUT"
Stating that there has been intense demand especially for 100 lira cards after the grand prize was won, Çetin said, "Of course, after the grand prize came out, there is tremendous demand. Since it came out from a 100 lira ticket, there is so much interest in 100 lira Scratch & Win cards right now. 100 lira Scratch & Win cards are selling out at all shops in Edirne right now. There is also demand for both them and other games."
"A LOT HAS COME TO EDIRNE BEFORE TOO"
Çetin, mentioning that they had also given out grand prizes before, said, "Last year we gave a 4 million TL grand prize from 'Generous Wallet'. Before that, we gave a 2 million TL grand prize. You know people say 'It doesn't come out, they don't give it.' We see that it comes out, I am a witness from here. So many big prizes have come to Edirne, especially a lot from Scratch & Win. As a shop, we also gave consolation prizes from the National Lottery. In Crazy Numerical Lotto, a 2 million TL prize came out a year and a half ago. We wish all our customers good luck. We want everyone to win. We are happy when everyone wins something. I am very happy, as if I had won myself," she said.
"I WOULD PAY OFF MY DEBTS AND BUY A HOUSE FOR MY SON"
Erol Örs, who tried his luck by buying a Scratch & Win from the same shop, said that he also played on the day the grand prize was won. Örs said, "Last week I also played a 200 lira ticket, and that friend played a 100 lira ticket. The friend won. If I had won, I would first pay off my debts. Then I would have a mevlid held at a mosque. I would also buy a house for my son."
"I WOULD SPEND IT FOR MY CHILDREN'S FUTURE"
Pınar Baybağ, who plays Scratch & Win hoping for the grand prize, said, "We also play with the hope of winning. If I won, I would spend it for my children's future. I would invest. I would pay my debts. I would evaluate it that way. With hope, hopefully one day it will come to us too. I try my luck from time to time."
