The line to the front door of Cardinia Life snaked through the carpark and around the corner, as locals lined up for the chance to win $10,000 as part of Nova radio hosts Jase and Lauren’s ‘Say Hey for 10K’ competition.
Jason Hawkins and Lauren Phillips proved they had plenty of fans from Pakenham, with hundreds turning out to meet the radio duo from 4pm on Tuesday 30 April.
The pair have been visiting towns across metropolitan Melbourne shaking hands, giving away $100 to every 100th person, $1000 to every 1000th person and $10,000 to the lucky 10,000th person.
While the big prize did not go off at Cardinia Life, Pakenham’s Karen Page was the first winner of the afternoon with $100.
She said she had been listening to Jase for a number of years and was “thrilled to bits” the pair were able to continue on radio after starting their new gig on Nova in March, after Kyle and Jackie O were set to broadcast on KIIS 101.1 in Melbourne, ending Jase and Lauren’s show on the network.
Not long after Karen’s win, husband and wife Bret and Lee McLean took home $1000.
Lee said she was “absolutely shocked”, with the pair excited to use the prize as extra spending money for their upcoming trip to Egypt in four weeks.
Other winners went off throughout the late afternoon, with Jase and Lauren sticking around for plenty of handshakes, selfies and chats.
