The teenager was excited to win the prizes, if not slightly overwhelmed.
"I don't usually win things," she said.
"I cried when I got home from the markets."
Cowra Tourism Manager, Arabella Fingleton delivered the many prizes to Ms McIntyre's front door with the help of Cowra Freight, and was thrilled with the assistance of the community.
"The Christmas Cracker Giveaway is a big part of the success of the event and many Cowra businesses showed their support by donating generously to the prize pot," Ms Fingleton said.
Many businesses donated goods and vouchers, adding up to a substantial prize pool.
Carly won the prizes with just one entry in the mega draw.
"I got my entry from Target when I went to buy some movies," she said.
Not yet finished her Christmas shopping Carly was looking through her stash to see what she could give her family.
"My mum likes the idea of the vacuum sealer," she said.
"And I saw dad eying off the Repco pack."
Carly, who aspires to be a hairdresser, was intrigued with the different heated styling tools, and is excited to look through her vouchers to see what other prizes she has come up with.
