Weston Igo’s* heart skipped a beat this morning with the amazing news he is now a millionaire as February’s Thunder Bay 50/50 grand prize winner! Weston just banked $1,247,688 tax free!
Weston’s first words were “Winner! Gagnant!” in reaction to the news. He has been buying tickets from the very start of the Thunder Bay 50/50 draw to support the Hospital. “The 50/50 is a great way to raise funds for all of the Hospital’s programs and for helping the rest of the region,” he said.
To date, over $35 Million in prizes has been awarded to winners from across Ontario and, in turn, millions of dollars has been raised to Do More Faster for better healthcare at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
“The Hospital’s new state-of-the-art Cardiac Cath Lab is now open and operational, paid for entirely by 50/50 supporters and donations to the Foundation,” says Torin Gunnell, Manager, Lotteries for the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. “This kind of success doesn’t mean our work is done. Success means we’re Doing More for patients of Northwestern Ontario.”
