It’s the last day to purchase tickets for the May Thunder Bay 50/50 Draw, and the jackpot is nearly $550,000. The Grand Prize Draw is happening tomorrow, Friday, May 27, and another huge payout is expected.

“With the May jackpot, we’ll have awarded over $12 Million in prizes since the Thunder Bay 50/50 started last year, and once again, I look forward to calling the lucky winner at 11:00 am tomorrow,” says Glenn Craig, President and CEO of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. “We’ve had Grand Prize and Early Bird winners from across Northwestern Ontario, and who have purchased all different ticket packages, so I’m excited to see who will win tomorrow’s jackpot!”

All proceeds from the Thunder Bay 50/50 go towards equipment purchases and upgrades at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, and across its regional programs. Equipment has been purchased for different departments such as the Operating Room, Emergency Department, ICU, Labour and Delivery, and Diagnostic Imaging. Equipment ranges from small items like IV pumps to larger things like surgical tables and even a 3T MRI Scanner that is currently on its way to our Hospital. Some of the equipment funded is listed at www.healthsciencesfoundation.ca/5050impact, and will be updated as new equipment arrives at our Hospital.

The grand prize draw is happening on Friday, May 27, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. ET, ticket sales close at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, May 26, 2022. Tickets are available online only at www.thunderbay5050.ca.
