Anne said she entered her ticket by shopping locally at Canning Arts/Fun and Games, buying Christmas presents for children in her family.
“I was asked to put a ticket in, I never win anything. I don’t know what to say, I am overwhelmed,” she said once learning of her win.
Anne said she has a son living in Kalgoorlie, WA and a daughter in Launceston, Tasmania, so the travel voucher will provide her an opportunity to visit them.
“We find it hard to travel interstate, it’s hard to fit it in the budget so this is an amazing opportunity.
“Thank you so much to the Yarrawonga Chronicle and Rosa at HelloWorld Travel,“ Anne said.
The travel voucher was made available by the Yarrawonga Chronicle in partnership with Helloworld Travel Cobram and tickets in the draw were available to people shopping locally at participating businesses.
