Yesterday, Ms Spackman was at PJ Tiles-Lotus Imports to pick up her cheque for $500, which she can spend on anything in the store.
But she had to be at the store at 12:30pm yesterday in order to collect her prize and it was a close call.
Ms Spackman buys the Daily Liberal every day but when her name appeared as the Treasure Hunt winner she didn’t notice it at first.
It was her workmates who alerted her to the fact that she was this week’s winner.
It is Ms Spackman’s birthday on Monday and she said winning this week’s Treasure Hunt was a great early birthday present.
A Dubbo resident since she was in Year Four, she and her partner John recently bought a new home in Dubbo which they are in the process of revamping.
During their renovations they have been purchasing quite a few things from PJ Tiles for their home and Ms Spackman said this was why she had chosen the business for her Treasure Hunt entry.
She said she already had plans for the $500 and was looking at a very nice wooden front door to finish off her newly renovated home.
