A senior paralegal at Bishopsgate Law is packing her bags after being chosen as the lucky winner of InfoTrack’s seventh annual ‘Take Me To Australia’ prize draw.

Lucy O’Brien was selected at random out of more than 350,000 entries in an online draw on Valentine’s Day. An entry into the competition was automatically registered every time an InfoTrack user ordered services via its platform.

Sam Jordan, chief operating officer at InfoTrack, said: ‘We love being able to reward our clients every year with this amazing holiday. This year we hit record entry numbers, showing our clients love the competition and using InfoTrack. A big thank you to all those who participated. We're thrilled for Lucy and can’t wait to hear all about her trip to Australia.’

Celebrating her win, Lucy said: ‘I was on the school run and my phone just kept ringing. I was getting notifications and messages, and I was thinking “OMG what has happened?”. Naturally, you assume something really bad, so I was frantically calling people back and I finally got through to two colleagues and they were screaming “you’ve won, you’ve won the trip to Australia!”. It felt like time stopped; I was in such shock. I was so overwhelmed but am absolutely chuffed to win such an experience!’
