Melbourne woman comes off night shift to discover Play For Purpose win!
Imagine purchasing a raffle ticket to support a charity you care about, only to wake up and discover you’ve won a life-changing prize. That’s exactly what happened to a Melbourne woman who thought she was dreaming when she woke from a post-night shift sleep to learn she had won a $15,000 Woolworths gift voucher in the latest Play For Purpose raffle. By supporting Autism Advisory & Support Service, her act of generosity turned into an unforgettable surprise.
“Thank you! Thank you!” she said.
“Sorry I missed your calls. I had just woken up after a night shift”
“I’ve worked in healthcare all my life, and I know Autism Advisory & Support Service receives less funding than many other foundations.
“This will be a huge help. Thank you!”
While we’re thrilled for our lucky 2nd Prize winner, every ticket purchased is a win for AASS, helping us continue to provide vital support, advocacy, education and guidance to autistic individuals, their families and the wider community. It’s a wonderful reminder that giving back can make a difference in more ways than one.

I’ve never heard of the Play For Purpose raffle… what is it?
Play For Purpose is an Australian charity raffle that allows supporters to raise funds for causes they care about while having the chance to win amazing prizes. When you purchase a ticket and select Autism Advisory & Support Service as your chosen charity, a minimum of 50% of your ticket price goes directly to supporting AASS, with the remaining funds used to provide prizes and operate the raffle.
