$5000 pot of gold

One lucky Gympie resident scored herself a $5000 prize through the Lucky Charm Rewards Program at the local Lucky Charm (TLC) Newsagent.

Belinda was ecstatic to win one of the two draws that the newsagent chain does each year.

“Exciting to win, I did not believe it at first,” she said.

“The money will go a long way to helping with the high cost of living.”

The local newsagent is just one of 55 stores across that country that takes part in the Rewards program which is aimed to reward customers with exclusive access to rewards and discounts tailored to the customer.

The store which will have been open for ten years this coming June were happy to welcome the overjoyed customer and present her with the cheque and big congratulation.

The reward program which earned Belinda her lucky charm has been going since 2014, where by just being a regular shopper, she netted herself a $5000 prize.

Shoppers can register at the newsagent to receive a rewards card where for each purchase customers will earn rewards points which they can use towards discounts on cartridges, seasonal items and more.

Out of all the customers, across 55 stores across Australia, fortune would have it the one lucky lady would get the gold in Gympie.

There to capture the winning moment was Gympie Today’s Shane Zahner.
