Super lucky!
We’ve heard of the “Lucky Lotto” shops, but what about lucky supermarkets? We have a contender for that title with Balaklava’s Foodland store. Since 2004, locals who have shopped at Foodland Balaklava have won more than$120,000 by entering their dockets in the many competitions run throughout Foodland stores statewide. “It’s marvellous,” said Foodland owner Mike Smith. “Megan (Mike’s wife) and I couldn’t be happier for them. We always encourage our customers to fill in entry forms for any Foodland competitions.” Most recent winner was Bal-
s! TAKE 5 Bonu Louise Michael reports:
aklava’s Di Michael, who won $15,000 in shopping vouchers in April. But Di’s wins don’t stop there. In recent times she has won a washing machine and about $800 in Foodland vouchers. She should buy a lotto ticket! Balaklava local Mary Masson was the first winner back in June 2004, winning $25,000 cash. Mary and husband Les spent
some of the money on a trip to New Zealand. Since then, there have been numerous other major winners, including Balaklava Primary School teacher and Auburn resident Leah Chidgey, who won spending money of $10,000, and Balaklava’s Marcelle Page won $20,000. Hoyleton’s Jill Sanders won $10,000 and treated her family to a holiday and some other home items. Owen resident Philomena Clarke won a $20,000 home entertainment package. Balaklava’s Kathryn Mahony won a travel voucher for $14,000 for an 8-day trip anywhere in the world, plus $6,000 spending
money. Kathryn and husband Ray travelled to Europe and had a fantastic time. And Balaklava’s Jenni McBride has had numerous wins, (although not as big as some) including a $2,000 SA Travel voucher, $1,000 Foodland voucher, an X Box with Band Hero, and some smaller Foodland vouchers. All very handy! The current competition, celebrating Foodland’s 50th birthday, could see a local win one of four new Toyota Yaris cars. I’ve got my colour picked out already. The odds appear to be pretty good. And as Mike and Megan said:“You’ve got to be in it to win it.”
