Robyn Magowan is visiting Canada next year and all she needs is spending money.

The Tauranga woman's airfares have been paid for by House of Travel after she won two tickets to any Air New Zealand destination at The Bay's Biggest Travel Expo on October 31. It's a prize worth about $2500 per person.

'We were enquiring about Canada a week prior to the Travel Expo,” says Robyn.

'I wanted to show my partner Canada.

'I've been there a few times before and used to live there back in the 1970s. Maybe visit some old friends and some parts of Canada that I haven't been to.”

A consultant at House of Travel suggested Robyn visit the Travel Expo. It was Robyn's lucky day.

She got the call a day after the event by a travel expert from House of Travel.

'I was at home on Sunday when our phone went and I thought she was just phoning me because I'd spoken to her saying I needed to set up an appointment.”

It was a phone call to say she'd won the big prize. 'I couldn't believe it. I phoned Richard and said, ‘Are you sitting down?' I don't think he believed it either for a while.”

Robyn says she's never been this lucky with competitions. 'I think I need to take a Lotto ticket.” Robyn is thankful to House of Travel for the prize.
