Karen’s Christmas is now looking $1000 brighter
KAREN Newman has won a $1000 eftpos card from The Chronicle's Cashed Up for Christmas competition.
She initially forgot she had even entered.
"It was such a nice, easy online competition to enter, I'm so surprised," she said.
Ms Newman said the prize had come at a time of the year when money was sparse.
"It's really good to go into the new year with some extra cash," she said.
The $1000 will go towards food, fun and post-Christmas sales.
"Thank you The Chronicle for this amazing, last-minute Christmas gift," Ms Newman said.
Six winners were announced across the APN network.
