Sydney Shopper's Incredible Supermarket Windfall
A Sydney mother has shared her astonishing luck after a routine trip to Woolworths earned her a massive 20,000 Everyday Rewards points while she spent a mere $22. The woman took to a popular Facebook page to reveal her unexpected win, which resulted from the supermarket's current Shop & Scan to Win promotion.
She explained that she had visited her local store to purchase just a few items, including Ritz crackers and lemonade. After scanning her Everyday Rewards card at the checkout, she was instantly notified that she had won the top-tier prize. 'Winner winner this morning at Woolies,' she wrote in her social media post. 'Spent $22, swiped Everyday Rewards card. Won 20,000 rewards points and $100 off another future shop!!!'
The delighted shopper added that receiving such substantial rewards for such a small spend was a genuine shock. A screenshot from her Everyday Rewards account provided undeniable proof of the points being credited instantly from that single transaction.
How the Shop & Scan to Win Promotion Works
The promotion, which is a first for the loyalty program, launched on November 5 and will run until December 2. It offers shoppers a chance to win a share of $3 million worth of prizes. To be in with a chance, Everyday Rewards members simply need to shop in-store at a Woolworths Supermarket or Metro and scan their rewards card when paying.
Winners are notified immediately at the register. The prizes come in two forms: instant money off your shop or bonus Everyday Rewards points. The money-off vouchers are for $10, $25, $50, or $100 and must be redeemed in-store before February 24 next year.
The bonus points can be won in increments of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, or the maximum 20,000 points. The promotion is an in-store only competition and is not valid for online orders.

She noted that this is the first time such a promotion has been run and expressed hope that it would 'bring a little cheer at the checkout.'
