The Weekend Sun
Anna’s $5000 bonanza Instant Effect’s Rebecca Osmond, winner Anna Stowers and nursery owner Mark Osmond.
A cheque for $5000 cash lies on the kitchen bench at the Stowers’ household in Papamoa. Both Anna and Shannon Stowers keep staring at it, touching it. It’s burning a hole. “We’re blown away,” says Anna. “Nothing like this ever happens to us.” But eureka! It did happen – Anna Stowers, wife of Shannon and mother of nine-year-old Brayden and seven-year-old Tayla takes home the cash in The Weekend Sun’s big $5000 Shop ‘n’ Win promotion at Papamoa. It’ll make a big difference for the Stowers. They were staying home this Christmas – now there’ll be a holiday to Whitianga or Auckland at the end of summer.
The children wished for a trampoline. That wish will become a reality. On Wednesday Anna was lured back to Instant Effect garden nursery in Papamoa, where she entered the Shop ‘n’ Win. She was overcome when SunMedia director Claire gave her the $5000 and a hug. “I don’t believe this. I love you all.” And she was buzzing all the way home, to where a sick hubby Shannon was asleep in bed. “He sat bolt upright when I told him about the money. He said to me: ‘Hey Babe, you so deserve this’. Now we are just standing here watching the cheque.” Anna says she’s never won anything. Well she has now, and she’s won big courtesy of The Weekend Sun and Papamoa Unlimited – a
consortium of Papamoa business interests. A beaming and proud Mark Ormond of Instant Effect garden nursery got $1000 for being the successful retailer in The Weekend Sun promotion. “It’s been a hugely successful partnership with Papamoa,” says Claire. So expect another Shop ‘n’ Win next year. Anna is just one of 20,158 entries from a suburb of 22,000 people. Papamoa Unlimited’s David Hill says it’s by far the most successful promotion ever conducted in Tauranga’s biggest and fastest growing suburb. “And we appreciate the confidence of The Weekend Sun for tapping into Papamoa’s sense of community.”
