The fifth turkey

A Christmas Turkey will be a change of pace for Olga Useli and her family after winning one in the Indy’s popular competition.
“When I got the phone call, I burst out laughing. I just couldn’t believe it. It’s exciting because I don’t usually win competitions.
“The turkeys were hidden very cleverly. I actually found four and thought for sure I had missed one since I knew there were meant to be five.
“I went back over the paper again and again until I finally saw one right in the middle of the Mind Games ad.
“I found them all on my own. My husband was out at the time and I actually hadn’t told him I’d entered.
“On Christmas Eve, we’ll stay at my daughter’s in Melbourne and after exchanging gifts we head over to midnight mass.
“We have three kids and four grandchildren and I know the turkey will definitely be enjoyed.
“My family is Italian so it’s unusual to have a turkey at Christmas time. We usually have our usual seafood meal – calamari and cuttle fish – so it will be a special meat dish.”
In addition to Mind Games, Olga found the turkeys in the South Geelong Exhaust, Slumberworld, Web and Warehouse, and Gateway Hotel adverts.
Entrants have to find turkey icons hidden in five adverts to go into the draw.
The five weekly winners each receive a free turkey from the Indy and Corio’s A Cut Above butcher shop.
Two sets of turkeys have been won so far and the five week competition ends with the Indy’s 18 December edition.
Entrants can identify as few or as many adverts with turkeys as they like, but entries with all five are prioritised for the draw.
Despite the clever hiding places found by some of the turkeys, many entrants managed to track down all five.
How to enter: email indy@geelongindy.com.au; message Facebook.com/GeelongIndy; or phone 5249 6700.
Include the entrants name and contact phone number. Entries close 5pm Monday.
