Celebrating winning New World South Island supermarkets' Shop to Win promotion are Dunedin flatmates (from left) Sonia Kumar, Nicole Wyss, Jaimee Ison, Donna Godman and Hannah Baldwin, at Centre City New World yesterday.

Ms Godman, a student, and her four flatmates won the $13,000 prize, from 100,000 entries.

With $250 a week for the next 52 weeks to spend on groceries, the girls were overwhelmed with what they could buy.

A normal weekly shop cost about $70, as they only cooked dinner together, with limited meat meals, and fended for themselves for lunch, she said. However, steak, potatoes and salad were on the menu last night, as a special treat.

Miss Godman said some of the vouchers would be distributed to each flatmate so they could buy their own lunches and snacks.
