A recent fill-up at Caltex's Star Mart at Toormina has left a Boambee East mother of two $50,000 richer and able to design her dream holiday anywhere in the world.

Kellie Kinross entered Caltex's Designed to Clean competition in May after buying Vortex 95 Premium Unleaded for her Suzuki Swift.

In winning the major prize, Mrs Kinross can design her own holiday with a Free-2-Travel voucher to the value of $50,000.

The competition was open to customers who purchased Vortex 98 Premium Unleaded, Vortex 95 Premium Unleaded or Vortex Premium Diesel at participating Caltex sites across Australia during the four week promotion period.

Mrs Kinross thanked the local Caltex staff member for encouraging her to enter the competition, admitting that she would have otherwise missed out because she didn't think she would win.

"We have never really tried entering many competitions, but thought we would give this one a go because we always fill-up at Caltex," Mrs Kinross said.

"I guess, as they say, you've got to be in it to win it."

Mrs Kinross normally fills-up with Vortex 95 Premium Unleaded, while husband Ray puts Vortex Premium Diesel in his Nissan Patrol.

"I've never put anything else but premium fuel in my car since new," Mrs Kinross said.

"The only time we ever fill-up anywhere else is when we can't get to a Caltex - either when we're on holidays or those times when floods block the road to our nearest Caltex at Toormina."

Tens of thousands of entries were received from around Australia before the 31 May deadline, all competing for a total prize pool valued at more than $150,000.

Caltex's National Manager Marketing Services, Michael Ridley-Smith, said Vortex premium fuels were designed to clean critical parts of the engine for better performance.

"Caltex injects unique additives into its premium fuels to help remove built-up residue from critical parts of the engine, which gives the vehicle more power, better acceleration and helps maintain fuel economy," Mr Ridley-Smith said.

Caltex Retail Business Manager Simon Daniel will join Toormina Store Manager Chris Seymour in presenting a cheque for $50,000 to Mrs Kinross on Friday 15 July at the Caltex Star Mart Toormina at 10am.
