As soon as East Geelong pensioner Laurie Mitchell saw the Indy’s Talkin Turkey competition was on again he began searching for the cheeky birds.
But luckily, and like almost 200 other week-one entrants, he only had to read until page five to spot all four sneaky turkeys.
“Number four was a bit elusive until I discovered the discrepancy at the bottom right-hand corner of the ad,” the 75-year-old said.
“Sometimes they’re spread all over the place but that’s all part of the competition, isn’t it?”
Laurie was “pleasantly surprised” to win a turkey in his second year entering the competition.
The turkey would be a “most-welcome” addition over Christmas when Laurie visited his paramedic daughter, her firefighter husband and their two children.
He looked forward to digging into “all that stuff that you’d normally not have”, like Christmas ham, roast chicken and, of course, the turkey.
“It’s all for the kids. They get a lot of fun out of it and it’s a good chance to meet the rest of the tribe,” he said.
Four more turkeys are hidden in today’s advertisements.
Entrants must name each advertiser with a turkey at geelongindy.com.au/competitions or the Indy’s office, on the first floor, 78 Moorabool St, Geelong.
Each week’s entries close midday the following Monday.
