New wheels for grandmum

That number ” 3841 ” was only seven shy of the correct total and close enough for the grandmother-of-two to be declared the winner and new owner of the $17,000 car.

Big Rock Toyota donated the Yaris to Centro Warwick where it sat last month, leaving shoppers to guess how many toys could ‘cuddle up’ in the Toyota.

All the toys will be donated to The Samaritans’ Operation Christmas Child charity.
