He was there with his grandson and both were overjoyed to receive the first prize in the raffle.

The moment felt like déjà vu for Stephen’s wife, Julie, who had also accepted the winning Christmas stocking years ago with her grandfather, adding a special touch of nostalgia to the occasion.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Benalla community for their unwavering support of our local health service,” the spokesperson said.

“Your generous contributions through ticket purchases and donations from local businesses are invaluable in ensuring that Benalla Health can uphold its commitment to delivering the best care to every person every time.

“Thank you for being a vital part of our mission to provide the best possible healthcare services to our community.”
