Masoabi admitted going “a little crazy” when she heard her name called out at the Ready, Set, Drive.

“It felt like a dream until I held the car keys in my hand at the handover of my prize,” she says.

Winning the Jeep Cherokee was the first time in her life that the lance-corporal had won anything.

The mother of two now has an incentive for to get her driver’s licence.

“I have a learner’s licence, so my daughter will be driving us around until I am legally allowed to get behind the wheel. This is so exciting” said Masoabi.

“Ready, Set, Drive had a popu- lar run,” says Louise Howell, Suncoast marketing manager.

“We wish all three SUV winners safe, happy travelling in their new Jeeps and thanks everyone who took part.
