Winnipeg winner scores $100K on popular MB-only Scratch & Win LUCKY LARRY’S LOBSTERMANIA ticket!

Luzonica Virata has won the second $100,000 top prize on the extremely popular $5 LUCKY LARRY’S LOBSTERMANIA Scratch & Win ticket! 

The Winnipeg local said she loves to play Scratch & Win games, and the ticket stood out to her because of its Manitoba exclusivity and the ticket’s PlayNow bonus component! 

Virata said she wanted to make sure she got one before they were gone: “It’s very popular and they were running out fast!” she explained. “A lot of people love this ticket because it’s only in Manitoba.” 

“When I saw the win, I wasn’t wearing my glasses, so I thought it was $10,000,” she chuckled. “I was surprised! And then I saw the real amount!” 

Virata has big plans for her big win. 

“I want to get my garage renovated to rent it out,” she said. “I feel relieved because I’ll be able to pay off bills and invest!” 

Virata purchased her winning $5 LUCKY LARRY’S LOBSTERMANIA Scratch & Win ticket from MSC - The General Store at 484 McPhillips Street, inside McPhillips Station Casino in Winnipeg. 

LUCKY LARRY’S LOBSTERMANIA’s popularity has led to the tickets selling out in less than a month’s time —the average Scratch & Win ticket takes approximately a year. Stay tuned for more Manitoba-only tickets!
