One lucky Ferntree Gully local has hit the jackpot after a recent makeover purchase.
Cherie Giurini had no clue her simple purchase of a couple of Revlon lipsticks, would score her a cash prize of $10,000 with Chemist Discount Centre (CDC).
Ms Giurini is a regular, and a club member, at the Chemist Discount Centre in Ferntree Gully, where the winning purchase was made.
When making the purchase, she didn’t think anything of the campaign.
“They [the staff] just said you bought something from the catalogue, and asked if I wanted to go into to draw, and didn’t think anything of it,” she said.
Ms Giurini said when Alyssa called to say she’d won, she didn’t believe her.
“I thought it was just a hamper or something like that, but when Alyssa told me what the prize was, I thought it was a scam,” she said.
After receiving the surprise call, she then rang her son to see what he thought, who also said it was probably a scam, before phoning the chemist who confirmed that it was a real prize.
Ms Giurini has already got big plans for the prize money, although she still struggles to believe it happened.
“I kept the novelty cheque at home because I still can’t believe it.
“I wanted to be able to show my friends when they came over,” she said.
Ms Giurini plans to split the winnings with her children, and is hoping to book a getaway for herself as well.
“I’ve got a son getting married soon, my daughter turning 18, and she is going on a Christian Mission to Thailand later this year to visit underprivileged kids, so I’d like to help them with that.
“I’ve also got a girlfriend up in Port Douglas, so that sounds like the place to go,” she said.
Ms Giurini expressed her thanks to the Ferntree Gully CDC team, who she said were all very lovely to her.
The Ferntree Gully winner was one of three winners, as announced by the Platform Alliance Group, who participated in the recent Chemist Discount Centre (CDC) member’s loyalty campaign; the Save & Win Club Card promotion.
Other winners who were also surprised with a $10,000 cash prize bought products from the Warragul branch, and also in their Morley store in Perth, WA.
The Save and Win Club Card promotion has been a huge drawcard for CDC customers.
It offers them a chance to win valuable prizes by simply purchasing eligible products featured in the catalogue and scanning their CDC Club Card in-store.
The promotion rewards loyal customers whilst simultaneously ensuring access to affordable healthcare and wellness products, which echoes the CDC promise of expert advice at lower prices.
