Vespa Winner – purekiwi34, Taranaki
Find the Vespa in Rome, November 2008
 |
"Thank you so much Mintshot! I managed to get the top score playing the instant win game early on in the month, so it was a long, anxious month hoping that no one would beat me. When I got the call from Mintshot to say I’d won, I was so stoked! I am a busy mother of a 2 and half year old and we only have one car. My partner does shift work, so it meant I was the taxi driver at all sorts of odd hours…sometimes in the middle of the night! So winning this Vespa is really going to change our lives, saving us on petrol costs with the car, and now my partner can get himself to work, and I can stop being the taxi driver! Thanks again Mintshot!" |

1st Birthday Bash, November 2008

"I was so stoked when i saw i was an instant birthday bash winner. I saw the image come up of what i had won, and i wasn’t too sure what it was. I saw this small thing with headphones. (i am 44years old...c’mon!) I asked my kids and they told me it was an iPod Suffle and i was over the moon! The kids wanted it, but i said “piss off – it’s mine!” I do a lot of walking and riding on the back on my husband’s motor bike and i like to listen to my walkman that uses cassette tapes. But i am told this iPod will hold about 500 songs, so you can imagine how happy i am! i can be up with the times with this awesome prize. Thanks so much Mintshot!" |

"I play on Mintshot every week and was absolutely stoked to be in the top 5 and win this iPod Nano! It has come at the most perfect time and I have it all wrapped under the Xmas tree and am giving it to my daughter for Xmas. I was really stressing to think of what i could get her that was affordable, and so thanks Mintshot, you have made our Xmas and saved us a few pennies too! The day before i won the iPod Nano, i had just bought an MP3 player on Trademe for my other younger daughter, then the very next day i won this. So it’s going to be a great Xmas in our household.

Mini winner - NZphantom, Nelson
Caption Competition, December 2007
 |
"I was absolutely blown away when I received the call from Marc. I have never won anything in my life so I thought he was pulling my leg." Winning the new Mini is extra sweet for Kerry, who is married with five children, because he has never owned a new car before and of late has only been driving spare cars from a small rental car company he runs in Nelson. Kerry also runs a small market garden, a move he believes helps him to remain carbon neutral as it offsets the emissions from his rental car company. “Thanks so much Mintshot – what a great website!” |
