Hug earns big prize
Would you hug a stranger for a chance at winning $10,000?
That is exactly how Albany local Melanie West won the top prize in the State-wide Hit FM competition.
Hit FM hosts Jesse and Juelz drove around the State asking the public to give them a hug for a shot at the prize money.
She said she was leaving the gym when she saw the radio hosts during their visit to Albany.
“I was with a friend and thought, why not?” she said.
“I was shocked when I was named as the winner, I really didn’t expect that.”
The winning cheque was presented to her at the Albany Bendigo Bank last week.”
