KEVIN Crosby from Hervey Bay had a dream that he would win the Raffle For A Cause Toyota Landcruiser 300 Series GXL. 

Kevin had already purchased a raffle ticket as he did every year. 

With a few weeks remaining for the major prize to be drawn, he decided to trust his dream and purchase another ticket. That was the lucky ticket.

Mr Crosby received the phone call on the day of the draw that left him speechless. He was the new owner of a Toyota Landcruiser valued at $114,000. 

“I just had this gut feeling I was going to win…….I was stunned when I got the call” he said.
Kevin was celebrating his 73rd birthday on the day he received the prize. 

The ex-builder has had his fair share of tough times throughout his life. He lost his first wife to Cancer and then his second wife to Meningococcal. 

He asked for no sympathy and has since found a new life in Hervey Bay for the last 15 years. 

“I feel so fortunate to have won this prize, I’m looking forward to a nice caravanning holiday once I get used to driving it.” 

Rally For A Cause run their annual “Raffle For A Cause” with the aim of raising funds to support local families and individuals affected by life-limiting medical conditions or whose lives have been disrupted by detrimental circumstances beyond their control.

The charity has raised over two million dollars for local families in the past eight years and continues to support those who are facing the toughest challenges in life.

Jason Wiegmink, Chairman for Rally For A Cause, says Kevin Crosby is a worthy winner. “I’d also like a special thanks to the volunteers and staff associated with our charity that allow us to continue to support so many families.”
