Hilux Hand Over
posted (January 6, 2014)
On Christmas Eve we told you about the lucky school teacher who won the brand new Toyota Hilux that was being raffled. Samuel Nicholson bought only one of the hundred dollar tickets and he did so for charity; he didn't even know what his ticket number was.

And so today, after all the paper work and transfers were done, this unlikely winner got the keys for his new pickup which was delivered right to his school at EP Yorke. He told us he's still in shock..

"Actually, to be honest I am still in amazement. I never thought that something like this would have happened to me. I bought the ticket and now actually seeing the vehicle in front of me I could say that I actually won this vehicle. I am still in a bit of shock, but I'm getting there."

"You don't drive standard and its a 5 speed standard. Is this something that concerns you and might you just want to hand it over to me now?"

Samuel Nicholson, winner
"To be honest, what I want to do in this event now I need to learn to drive that standard. I don't believe in giving away blessings. To be it's like a blessing in disguise. For me to just give it away it would be unfortunate. It's a challenge 2014 - standard here I come."

The vehicle comes with one year of free comprehensive insurance.
