Title: I won a Toyota Yaris in the Great Brisbane Duck Race
Post by: njt28san on Tuesday 28 September 2010, 08:43:15 pm
I havent been able to get on the website to tell everyone that I won a Toyota Yaris in the Great Brisbane Duck Race.  My plastic duck came first out of 21,000 ducks which were raced down the river (unbelieveable).  I donated $100 to the PA Hospital cancer research foundation which entitled me to 35 ducks in the race.  I ended up on channel 10 news and the local newspapers, wow I am so excited.  my best win ever and all for a good cause because this hospital saved my life from  melanoma. I'm not financially well off and my car was just about dead, so its taken alot of worry away from me.  yipeeeee

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to you! :)  I buy a flock of ducks every year (7) and don't mind losing as all the money goes to this wonderful hospital.

Thanks for all your good wishes.  I am still in shock.  I didn't expect to win the car, it was my anniversary for being 10 years clear of cancer so thats why I donated $10 for each year to the Princess Alexandra Hospital.  I am hoping to volunteer to drive cancer patients to treatment with the car, but since I havent driven a manual car for about 15 years, I'm abit rusty driving it but it should be great after a few weeks practice.  I didn't get to keep the winning duck no.19,544 but they gave me one massive plastic duck, a smaller one and a key ring duck, they are so cute.  So I am just still over the moon!!!!
