The Goulburn woman picked up her new Nissan Navara twin-cab ute from Goulburn Country Motors last Tuesday.
Nicole had been saving to buy a Nissan ute when she heard that she had won the advertised prize of a MG Excite sedan, valued at $22,000.
The Lions Club prize can be swapped to another vehicle of the person's choice. Nicole added a trade-in and some cash to purchase her "dream car."
Her mother attended the draw at Goulburn Plaza in December.
"Mum rang me at work so I thought something was wrong," she said.
"Then she told me that she was at the Lions Club draw and heard my name called out. 'You've won the car,' she exclaimed.
"What a surprise! I'd forgotten that I bought the tickets."
Club president Rosemary Chapman soon followed up with a phone call confirming the win.
