Double tickets offer

That means two for any purchase up to $20, and two for every additional $20 spent in any one transaction (capped at 40 tickets per transaction).

On all other days, you’ll receive one ticket for a purchase up to $20, and one ticket for every additional $20 in one transaction (up to 20).

And with all tickets in the barrel now vying for the $5000 major prize, there’s never been a better time to improve your chances.

The Deniliquin Pastoral Times campaign is designed to encourage you to support local businesses when preparing for the festive season.

For the first time, prizes are provided as half cash and half Deniliquin Business Chamber Why Leave Town gift cards.

Earning a ticket in the draw is easy; all you have to do is shop at a participating local business (see page 10).

The final draw will take place on Friday, December 19 during the Edward River Community Christmas Party in the Deniliquin Waring Gardens.

Tickets can be earned right up until the final draw, and there is an entry box at each participating store.
