Man wins $10,000 from chicken schnitzel burger meal at South Launceston

Hadspen's Brent Cole pulled into the Macca's to grab some lunch, unaware he was about to go into the draw to win the money.

"It was a big shock," he said.

"I actually just got lunch. I didn't realise I had even entered it.

"This will make a massive difference to our lives, I will spoil my fiance and son a little for Christmas, but most of it will go into some renovations for the house. I have some bad long-term injuries and can't do the work around the house that I want done so I'll be able to pay someone to do it now."

To enter customers have to spend $10 or more during December to win one of the 10 daily $10,000 prizes.

Mr Cole was automatically entered, as he ordered his meal via the MyMacca's app.

He said he only found out he had won after a friend contacted him and told him to check his emails, after they saw his name on a winner's list.

"I was a little bit skeptical at first and then I checked the actual app site and I thought oh okay, if it's on there and my name's there it's gotta be real," he said.

"I've never won anything over $50 in my life."

South Launceston licensee Steven Nicholas said he was excited to hear a local customer had won.

"We're really excited one of our lucky South Launceston McDonald's customers has won $10,000," he said.

"[It] can often be an expensive time for many people and we're very pleased to be able to give local residents ... the chance to win some extra cash."
