Just came across this great story and had to share. A New Zealand woman just won $1 million in her local lotto – and before she even had a chance to collect any money she went out and bought herself a new hammock. Even more awesome, she already owned two hammocks so this was her third!

“Also when I found out that I had the winning ticket, because the smallest amount you can win is $100,000, I went and bought a hammock. I already have two but I bought a hammock stand because I have always wanted one.”
- Lottery Winner Vicky
Congratulations Vicky! I imagine you’ll be doing some traveling once you collect your lotto prize – if you’d like to add a 4th hammock to your collection that you can travel anywhere with and enjoy hammock time anytime, let us know!

About a week ago I noticed that REI was having a photo contest where they asked people to “submit a photo of yourself wearing or using your favorite outdoor brand(s)”. As soon as I saw it I knew that some of the incredible hammock photos you’ve all submitted would be perfect for the contest so I posted about it on Facebook and Twitter and encouraged you to submit some of your Trek Light Gear photos to the contest.
Trek Light Gear friend and fan Jennifer Akullian heeded the call and submitted one of the many amazing shots she’s taken with her Trek Light hammock. I’m thrilled to share with you that Jennifer’s photo was picked as the winner in the photo contest and as a result she’s walking away with a $500 REI Gift Card!!!
Check out the incredible photo that won the contest:
Life is ALWAYS better in a hammock!
Congratulations Jen and thanks for taking such an awesome photo!
Here’s even better news – it looks like REI is running the exact same contest again right now so if an $500 REI Gift Card sounds awesome to you please submit any of your great Trek Light Gear photos to the contest. I just submitted a photo myself so whether you’re submitting a photo or not please go ahead and vote for our photo by clicking here or on the photo below!
