"I was joking I wanted the drill out of it because I don't have a drill," she said.
Instead Mrs Tuckwell has a plethora of goods donated by the hardware retailer and plans to give some away as Christmas presents.
Draw done: Wodonga Bunnings cashier Emily Orzeszko and operations manager Jamie Wolf, also a Kokoda 2020 participant, with the winning ticket and trailer load of prizes that were given away in one package.
"I always buy tickets in raffles because I like selling tickets and I know how hard it is to sell tickets," the Lavington Lions Club member said.
Kokoda 2020 organiser Alex Wolf said about $2000 was raised from the raffle, for the walk to help drought-hit farmers and ex-defence personnel supported by Wodonga's veterans' centre.
