Lucky tradie gives epic response after scooping $110,000 on Sunrise’s Cash Cow competition

A western Sydney mechanic has started the working week $110,000 richer after scooping the biggest Sunrise Cash Cow windfall so far this year.

Harshith Kumar was already at work at a car dealership in Blacktown when he answered a call from Channel Seven’s Sunrise team early Monday morning.

He was initially lost for words when excited host Natalie Barr told him he had won $110,000, which is tax-free.

The Sunrise Cash Cow couldn’t contain his excitement after the $110,000 jackpot went off

‘No way, get out of town!’ a shocked Mr Kumar eventually replied.

‘That’s crazy. I’m speechless to be honest. I don’t know what to say.’

Mr Kumar told the hosts he’d been entering the competition for ten years.

He still lives at home with his parents and plans to share his win to help them out and conceded it will be his shout at the pub after work this afternoon.

‘It’s going to be awesome,’ Mr Kumar said.

The Sunrise Cash Cow giveaway skyrocketed to its highest amount offered so far this year after 10 consecutive winners didn’t pick up the phone within three rings.

‘This hardly ever happens… in the show’s history it’s only happened a handful of times,’ Ms Barr told viewers on Friday.

‘At this time particularly with people losing their jobs and going through economic hardship, $110,000 would be extraordinary,’ newsreader Edwina Bartholomew added.

The Sunrise Cash Cow returns on Tuesday with $10,000 up for grabs, which will increase to $20,000 on Wednesday if the randomly selected winner doesn’t answer within three rings.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. Ã¢Â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...
