Jocelyn and Tony Curran couldn't believe their luck when they were told they had won a major prize in a competition.
"We're still pinching ourselves," Jocelyn said.
The Dannevirke couple, who have a farm at Te Uri, nearly didn't enter the Purina-sponsored competition.
Jocelyn said she saw the entry sticker on a bag of Tux dog food as she'd gone out to feed the dogs and decided to fill it in.
Never believing she'd win, she stuck it on a noticeboard and forgot about it.
