Liz Paice was lacking so much confidence when she entered the Star News Group and Harvey Norman Grand Final TV competition that she prematurely purchased a brand new flat-screen last week.
Now the Berwick mum and her kids, Taylah, Josh, will have two screens to watch the latest nail-biting AFL action.
Mrs Paice received a call from Harvey Norman on Tuesday morning, informing her she had won a 65 inch Ultra High Definition TV.
It is one of the few things Mrs Paice has ever won in her life.
“We’ve just gone out and bought a new TV two weeks ago because we never thought we would win,” she said.
“The kids were absolutely stoked.
“I thought to myself, ‘oh my god what are we going to do’, but then we got the idea to mount the new TV on the wall.”
All the family had to do was snap a selfie in front of their tiny TV, donning their team’s colours.
Now, they will have a state-of-the-art television delivered to their home.
Unfortunately, Mrs Paice and her kids aren’t overly keen on the Pies or the Eagles.
The family is split in their loyalties between the Bulldogs, Cats and Swans.
Harvey Norman Fountain Gate proprietor Grant Hammond said it was extremely fulfilling to host the competition.
“It’s an exciting time of the year with the AFL and the NRL finals,” he said.
“There’s nothing better than being able to watch it on a big screen.
“Whether you’re a competition winner or just on the hunt for a good deal, we’re always here to look after the locals of Pakenham and Berwick.”
