Blease-d with Golden win

Jenny and Stuart Blease are looking forward to a cool summer thanks to the Golden Bunny Bonanza.The local farmers won the first of the $200 weekly prize draws on Friday, and intend to use it to buy an industrial fan.‘‘We’ve been needing this big fan for the lounge room for a while, but we didn’t think we’d be able to get it now with Christmas coming up and everything else going on,’’ Mrs Blease said.‘‘Everyone in the district is feeling the effects of this drought.  We’re not the worst off, but we are watching our pennies.’’Mrs Blease said she’s been entering the shopping promotion for many years, and only just got her entires in the barrel in time for Friday’s draw.Her winning entry came from Central Cellarbrations.‘‘We live out of town, so I did have quite a few of the vouchers to put in. I had about 16 of them I think, and only put them in the barrel on Thursday or Friday.’’There are four more $200 Deni Gift Cards to be won before the $5000 grand prize draw on December 20.You earn one ticket for every $20 spent in a participating store, up to 10 tickets in any one transaction. Simply fill the ticket out and place it in the barrel at IGA or the entry box at the store.The Golden Bunny Bonanza is proudly supported by the Pastoral Times and Deniliquin Business Chamber, and platinum sponsors Central IGA, Central Cellarbrations and Josh’s Bakehouse, Deniliquin RSL Club, Harvey Norman, 2QN and Edge FM, and Intersport Bennetts.
