The JUCY Girls from JUCYville HQ had never been on a helicopter, but that was all about to change.  On Thursday  the 23^rd of December  you can only imagine the excitement in the taxi as we headed off to the HELETRANZ heliport where we jumped into a helicopter on a flight to Auckland Airport and filmed the live draw mid-flight for the winner of our fifth JUCY Prize package. 

The flight & HELETRANZ staff were amazing, the weather was perfect, views were stunning (we definitely live in a pretty city) and the filming of the prize was so much fun.  By the time we reached the helipad at Auckland Airport we had our winner!  A helicopter flight should definitely be on your “to do list for 2011!”

Check out the JUCY Girls do the live draw here which is posted on our facebook page! 

On the 27^th of December we published the live video draw on our facebook page & twitter accounts waiting to hear from the lucky winner by the name of Gregor Hackner!   A couple of days later we got a response and this is what he had to say, “Are you serious???  I never won anything. That is absolutely amazing. I can’t believe it.  I pick up one of your vans tomorrow at the Auckland Airport!  I am so excited.  I think I am the luckiest person on the planet today. Thank you again!”  

Gregor and his girlfriend arrived at the JUCY Hotel the following day after collecting their JUCY Campervan from our Auckland Airport team  that they had booked from Germany.   On arrival at the hotel they were presented their JUCY Prize package.  They could not believe their luck and straight away got into re-arranging their plans so they could start using up all their prizes!

Gregor & his girlfriend are presented with their JUCY Prize! 

After returning from their helicopter flight with HELETRANZ Gregor & his girlfriend talk about winning the prize & their experience! 

The team here at JUCYville are stoked that Gregor, a traveller from Germany who arrived here in NZ to travel around in a campervan with his girlfriend won such an amazing prize.

A massive JUCY thanks has to go out to HELETRANZ who took us JUCY Girls on a flight along with providing the main prize for our winner – you guys rock!  Another massive thank you to Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World, Gotta Love NZ and all our other mates in the industry who have come on board with prizes for these packages!

Our winner, Mark Johnson of North Shore Auckland was hoping to take a trip down south this year for his seventh wedding anniversary but as life would have it, plans didn’t quiet go that way.

The National Service Technician, who has never won a competition before has only ever travelled the South Island for work rather than pleasure, but after entering the Jucy Snow Holiday adventure his dreams of enjoying the majestic sights of the beautiful South Island have come true.

The secret thrill seekers last holiday was in September 09 and heard about the Jucy Snow Holiday competition while sampling NZ Natural Ice Cream at the Jucy Ski For Free sampling day outside R&R sport.

“A lovely lady down at R&R told me about the holiday. My wife put the flyers into recycling three times and I took them out again three times so I could enter the competition”.

When asked how Mark felt about winning the competition, Mr Johnson replied, “Bewildered. Shocked. I was on my way to see a client when Jucy called to say I had won. I had to wait in the car until I stopped shaking “!

Mr Johnson is now set to enjoy a jam packed holiday full of excitement and adventure and promises to send us photos so we can see the fun the couple have on this amazing holiday.
