iPad lands in lucky winner's hands
Josephine Moyle was so surprised to have a stranger message to say she'd won a new iPad Air that at first she assumed it was all some sort of scam.
But a scam it wasn't: in fact, Ms Moyle had been drawn as the lucky reader in Wimmera Mallee News's (WMN) recent subscription promotion.
To coincide with the addition of daily crossword, sudoku, wordflower and wordrow puzzles to wimmeramalleenews.com.au, the company offered all active paying subscribers to the site the chance to win an 11-inch Apple iPad Air, no strings attached.
Ms Moyle, who lives in Portland, is one of those who enjoys unlimited access to the region's most comprehensive digital news coverage.
The locally owned site combines content drawn from the print editions of WMN's five weekly newspapers – The Horsham Times, Rainbow-Jeparit Argus, Warracknabeal Herald, Dimboola Banner and Wimmera Mallee Sport – with additional online reporting.
A premium digital subscription costs just $13 per month, $70 for six months or $132 for a full year.
New subscribers can trial it for free for the first seven days.
