Looking slightly overwhelmed is Che Wilson (centre), the winner of a 12-speed Raleigh bike, valued at $550, at Berry's Bookshop's massive give-away free-for-all on Friday. Staff took cover as special guest, 'Mr Lotto' Doug Harvey, released hundreds of balloons containing prize tickets onto an eager throng. By an amazing coincidence, the very last balloon to be released contained the major prize ticket and owner Peter Berry by chance selected a balloon containing that same ticket just hours before the event, out of hundreds of balloons. Another coincidence: Mr Berry informed Doug Harvey that it was about time someone in the Waimarino won first division Lotto, and this weekend a first division winning ticket was purchased in Ohakune. Also pictured is boogie board winner Jenny Murdie, proprietors Peter and Margaret Berry, and Doug Harvey.
