A dedicated Phoenix Suns fan will be going to Tuesday night's playoff game after finding two tickets in a Valley Goodwill.

Followers of Goodwill on Facebook and Instagram joined in on a scavenger hunt organized by the thrift store for one lucky fan to score two playoff tickets to see the Suns.

Fans joined in on a hunt Monday morning after they were told Phoenix Suns tickets would be at an undisclosed Goodwill location.

They searched all over the metro area after Goodwill released a few clues on their social platforms.

"We actually gave out 10 potential stores where the tickets could be," Lea Soto Graham, director of growth marketing at Goodwill, said in an interview with ABC15.

The clues, which were posted Monday morning read, "No matter where you are, you can look to the rising sun for Victory."

Michaela Mason of Glendale said she decided to drive to the Salt River Indian community in Scottsdale out of the 10 store locations.

After spotting Suns rally towels among hanging washcloths, Mason investigated.

"I saw orange, a field of orange, and I was like I got to look," she said.

Her intuition paid off. She found the golden ticket attached to a rally towel.

Mason and her husband will now experience Tuesday's playoff game and will be seated in the first few rows. "I'm feeling so ecstatic," her husband said. "Good thing I bought that (Kevin) Durant jersey last night."

As the playoffs continue, so will Goodwill's golden ticket scavenger hunts. To participate, follow GoodwillAZ on Instagram and Facebook for the latest information.
