Lorna takes home first Shop Local voucher

A Moama resident for 20 years, Ms McConnell said she would often fill out an entry form at participating businesses as a formality, but never imagined her name would be the lucky one drawn for a major prize.

“I couldn’t quite believe it, I was overwhelmed,” she said of receiving the winning call.

“I’ve probably won a couple Christmas hampers (over the years), but never anything of this size.”

Echuca’s Lyn Suffolk took out second prize, pocketing a $500 gift card.

Shoppers can enter the draw by shopping locally at one of the participating businesses, with three more sets of vouchers to be drawn weekly.
