Promotion Winners
Yates Sow and Go Promotion
Wanganui man John Harrison is the lucky winner of the Yates and Mitre 10 Sow and Go Promotion.
When Mr Harrison purchased Yates Lawn Seed from his local Mitre 10 MEGA store he had no idea that he would soon be winging his way to his favourite turf. “I’ve never entered any competition like it before. I took home an information sheet and thought, ‘Why not!’ I couldn’t believe it when I won. My wife and I are keen golfers, so we are planning a trip to Noosa, Fiji or Samoa.”
Anyone who purchased Yates Lawn Seed from Mitre 10 between 28 March to 30 April could enter the draw to win a $5000 travel package to visit their favourite sporting event or stadium.
The travel package included a $3000 travel voucher and $2000 Prezzy card. Mr Harrison is keen to use the Prezzy Card to start renovations on their Wanganui home.
Storeowner Jeff Gilbertson of Mitre 10 MEGA Wanganui is pleased a local won the nationwide competition. “The Wanganui team would like to congratulate Mr Harrison on his exciting win and we hope he enjoys the trip.”
The team at Yates New Zealand and Mitre 10 New Zealand congratulate Mr Harrison on winning the Sow and Go Promotion and look forward to hearing about his fantastic trip.
