A BALINGUP father of two has proven he has lady luck on his side after winning a brand new Suzuki Swift as part of a fast food chain promotion.
Machine operator Al Bailey, 41, said he was thrilled to win.
"I was shocked when I heard I'd won, I've never had a brand new car before, my wife and I won't know what to do with ourselves when it arrives," Mr Bailey said.
It is one of 28 Suzuki cars being given away by fast food chain McDonald's as part of a promotion.
The win was perfect timing for Mr Bailey and his family, with their 1999 Holden Commodore VT in desperate need of replacing.
"My wife's car was on its last legs, it constantly overheats and there was no airconditioning. The children call the window winder the aircon," Mr Bailey said.
"The new Suzuki will come in handy for the morning school run-my wife drives 40 kilometres to the nearest bus route on the South West Highway to drop off and pick up the children. We'll also use the car to teach my eldest to drive," Mr Bailey said.
McDonald's Treendale Licensee Nick Tsagaris said it was exciting to share in the big win, with Mr Bailey being the first WA winner in the national competition.
"It's fantastic a regular customer at Treendale scooped one of the grand prizes on offer, I hope the Bailey family enjoys their new Suzuki," Mr Tsagaris said.
