Vickie Morris attended the festival, which was held over two days at Warwick racecourse last weekend.

Rotarians delighted at 'record-breaking' numbers for Warwick's two-day Thai Fest...

Deciding to take a chance, Vickie entered the raffle at the event.

The raffle for a flight to Thailand was won by Vicki Morris, who is pictured receiving an Eva-Air voucher from Magic of Thailand’s Daniel Biggs. Photo supplied

She said: “Something told me, I had to enter the raffle on Saturday, I’m not normally one for competitions but I was feeling lucky.

“We waited until 5pm and thought we had missed the draw so left to meet family and friends.”

When Vickie arrived at the Kings Head pub in Warwick she realised she had two missed calls and a voicemail.

Vickie said: “The pub garden was that noisy I couldn’t hear the voicemail but it mentioned I had won a raffle. I still didn’t think anymore of it.”

Once Vickie arrived home just after 8pm her son, George, listened to the voicemail again. It wasn’t until that point they realised the voicemail was confirming they had won the raffle at Warwick Thai Festival.

George returned the call and spoke to Daniel, who confirmed he was working for Magic of Thailand; the event organisers of Warwick’s Thai Festival.

After clarifying personal details and the ticket number, Daniel confirmed Vickie had won a flight to Bangkok, Thailand.

"I was in complete shock, I still didn’t believe it,” said Vickie. “I called my mum, sister and sister-in-law straight away to tell them the news”

Vickie is planning to travel to Thailand early 2023 with members of her family and would like to thank The Rotary Club of Warwick and Magic of Thailand Festivals for organising the weekend.
