- Replies 8
We don't know about you, but we love hearing stories of people unexpectedly hitting the jackpot – whether it's through the lotto, scratchies or finding a $50 note on the ground.
It always brings a smile to our faces and reminds us good things do happen to good people from time to time. It gives us hope that one day, it might just be our turn!
And speaking of good things happening to good people, a Coles shopper in the Northern Territory has recently been blessed with a 'Christmas miracle' after having an incredibly lucky experience at her local supermarket.
While picking up groceries for dinner recently, Chantel Bowden decided to scan her Flybuys card like she always does. But this time, she was in for a very pleasant surprise: she'd instantly won one million Flybuys points!
The shopper recalled the moment she realised what had happened, sharing: 'I was shocked and shaking. I didn't know what to do as a little message popped on the screen saying to speak to a staff member.'
'Honestly, I thought it was a scam ... I called him [the store manager] a liar, I didn't believe him. But they came back with this massive cardboard sign saying "congratulations".'
She added that she was still unsure if it was a scam or a really good prank as the staff member came over to confirm her win.
After hearing her claim, the employee assured her that she had indeed won just by scanning the card.
Ms Bowden was one of 14 lucky customers that won a million bonus points after scanning their Flybuys card on their last shopping trip.
Coles also offered a range of prizes to other Flybuys members, including a $100 Coles supermarket voucher, a $100 Coles online voucher, and an email to say their Flybuys account has been topped up with 10,000 points.
Adam Heywood, Coles’ General Manager of Customer Experience and Loyalty, said: 'This Christmas, Coles is thanking our most loyal customers for their continuous support to our team, our suppliers and community partners over the years.'
'These customers are Flybuys members who clearly love to shop at Coles and we want to show our appreciation for their support.'
Winning one million bonus points allowed Ms Bowden to buy groceries for her ill mother and grandmother, which she said she can rarely afford.
Meanwhile, many Flybuys members celebrated her win on social media.
'OMG that is epic, congratulations! The best timing ever in the lead-up to Xmas! Happy spending,' one person praised.
Another added: 'Awesome! Congratulations! My parents were rewarded with one million Flybuys earlier this year so I know the excitement.'
'They spent it on groceries and the grandkids. So as pensioners it's helped them out this year.'
So, there you have it, folks! If you were to win one million Flybuys points, what would you do with the prize? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
