Tauranga woman Jenny Hillis dreamed she was going to win a new kitchen, even down to the granite bench top – which she imagined as a large block of concrete on the kitchen floor.
Her dream turned to reality today when she and husband Brian won a new $20,000 kitchen, thanks to the Tauranga Home Show.
Tauranga Home Show prize winners Gordon McDonald and Judy Turner, and Jenny and Brian Hillis.
The couple was joined by Gordon McDonald and Judy Turner today in winning the show's two top prizes, presented to them at No 1 The Strand today by organiser Graeme Martin.
'On Wednesday night we went to see Billy Connolly in Hamilton and stopped at Brian's parents in Matamata,” says Jenny, who is currently in the market for a new house with Brian.
There, she missed a call from an unknown number. 'Something in my head said ‘Ring it back'.”
The call was from Graeme telling her she had won a major prize after attending the home show last weekend.
Both couples visited Sun Media offices this morning where it was revealed who had won what.
Jenny and Brian won a fully-equipped European Palazzo Kitchen valued at more than $20,000, and including $4000 granite bench top.
Gordon and Judy walked away with $5000 cash, a $2500 shower and another five thousand dollars in home wear and appliances.
The couple have recently installed a new kitchen in their home so were thrilled to receive the secondary prize.
'We are really happy that someone got the kitchen who really needs it,” says Judy.
She says they will now start looking at bathroom additions and alterations.
