Bendigo Bank has teamed up with Warrnambool City Council for a the campaign to get people shopping locally in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the five-week competition, the bank will each week give away $500 worth of vouchers for the winners to spend at whatever locally owned stores they choose.
Ms Kenny entered the competition twice after two separate trips to Materia Brothers - once for her regular shop and another to buy lollies and treats for work colleagues.
She said she planned to use her voucher to buy a new hand bag and to dine out with friends at some local restaurants.
To enter, people just need to spend $20 at a locally owned business and bring their receipt into the bank, or enter online by uploading a picture and tagging the business with the #getaroundwarrnambool and #bendigobank hashtags on Facebook or Instagram.
Receipts must be kept for proof of purchase. There are four more prizes to be drawn.
