Wattie’s and Countdown Millionaire prize draw

Countdown Ponsonby was the scene of a millionaire in the making on Wednesday 21 July.

After buying five Wattie’s items and swiping her Onecard earlier in the year, she was then drawn from more than 83,000 entries. Gill was flown to Auckland to choose one Wattie’s can from 100 at Countdown’s newest store in Ponsonby. With 99 cans containing $10,000 and one can containing a million dollars the excitement was building.

Instore on the day Gill chose can number 42 and revealed $10,000.

She plans to enjoy The Cure concert in Auckland with her husband Andrew and will think about what to spend the money on over the next few weeks.
