A Nanango resident is now $400 richer thanks to a “ticket” handed out to him by police at a roadside breath test this month.
Gary Smith recorded a zero reading, earning himself an entry into the “Project Sober Roads” prize draw.
Nanango police handed out 500 entry tickets to the competition to motorists during the December lead-up to the festive season.
“Project Sober Roads” was run in conjunction with the Nanango Community Men’s Shed, which successfully sourced the funding from Heritage Community Branch at Nanango.
The project aims to raise awareness about impaired driving, and this is the second year it has been run.
The three winners, drawn at the Nanango Police Station on Wednesday, were:
- 2 x $200 shopping vouchers – Gary Smith, Nanango
- $200 shopping voucher – John Carter, Nanango
- $200 shopping voucher – David Wooler, Yarraman
The vouchers came from SupaIGA Nanango, Airds Hardware and Nanango Motors.
