Worrigee local wins a lifetime's supply of fuel

10 September 2015



A believer that good things do happen, Worrigee local Sue-Ellen Howard has had her life transformed winning a lifetime of fuel thanks to Caltex Australia.

The fourth generation Worrigee resident entered the competition last month after filling up with Vortex Premium fuel at the South Nowra Caltex Star Mart service station on 30 July 2015.

After finding out that she won the life-changing prize, Ms Howard went back to the Caltex Star Mart site to thank the team personally.

"I only entered the competition because the customer service attendant handed me the flyer and highlighted instructions on how to enter the competition," Ms Howard said.

"I'm still pinching myself - winning this prize is absolutely unbelievable and has changed my life.

"When I moved into my current home I had an afternoon tea with friends and family and joked to them that they all must bring good karma - looks like they did just that!

"You can have all the money in the world but it's really family and friends that bring me happiness, however, in saying that, winning this prize will have a huge impact on my life."

Given it was the biggest customer promotion in the company's history, Caltex Australia's Executive General Manager Commercial, Bruce Rosengarten, said he couldn't wait to call the lucky winner once the competition was drawn.

"I made the call to Ms Howard and she just couldn't believe that she'd won - she started crying tears of happiness," Mr Rosengarten said.

"Caltex is an Australian company that has been supplying quality fuel to multiple generations of motorists and businesses right across the country, including right here on the South Coast of New South Wales, for more than a century.

"Our longevity means the Caltex brand is embedded into many local communities and we are trusted to deliver outstanding service in-store as well as a wide range of quality fuels like our Vortex Premium petrol and diesel range.

"Everything we do is driven by our unwavering commitment to delivering safely and reliably for our customers."

In addition to the lifetime of fuel major prize, Caltex also gave away 100 instant prizes of $100 Star Cash for 28 days. There were over 80 instant winners in the South Coast area.
