Cinderella win in lottery
PA Auckland A young South Auckland mother was tonight settling into her new $325,000 home last evening after spending 10 weeks living in a cramped emergency house. Miss Christine Bushell,who has three children of school age, won in a raffle a two-storey, fully furnished home in the North Shore suburb of Chatswood. Until yesterday she was sharing a Salvation Army house at Papakura with 17 other homeless people. Her three children, Neil, Joelene and Brenda, have been living at Papakura Health Camp during the school holidays. The $255,000 house — first prize in the National Children’s Health Research Foundation raffle — has contents worth more than $70,000.
Miss Bushell is separated from her husband. She bought the winning ticket for herself as a Christmas present, with the nom de plume “Last Chance.”
