Port Douglas holiday

Umina couple James and Coral Ridges has won a five-day Port Douglas holiday.

Mr and Mrs Ridges won one of two holiday packages as part of the national Soul Pattinson Chemist competition.

Ms Ridges said she entered the competition after making a purchase at the West St Umina store using her Soul Pattinson Chemist card.

"I couldn't believe it, I was so excited," Ms Ridges said.

"I thought it might have been someone playing a trick on me".

The prize takes on even more significance, with the couple celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this November.

"This is an early anniversary trip for sure," Ms Ridges said.

The prize includes airfares, accommodation and day trips to the Great Barrier Reef.
