Today, Jeremy Dart of Marathon, Ontario can finally turn his dreams into reality because he received the much-anticipated call this morning that everyone waits for – the call letting him know that he has won the grand prize of $1,627,738 in the May 50/50 draw!
“Me and my wife Shauna celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on May 22nd, and purposely bought our 50/50 ticket that day,” explains Jeremy. We’ve long supported the lottery as we’ve utilized the hospital’s services in the past and it has also been helpful to our family members in times of need.” When asked what plans they have for their winnings, Shauna without hesitation, says, “a new kitchen.” Today, the Dart’s are heading to a Provincial Park in the region, to join their kids, family and friends, where they will now be celebrating their big win.
Proceeds from the Thunder Bay 50/50 monthly draw go towards purchasing essential equipment and treatment options for the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre so more patients can have access to closer to home healthcare. To date, over $40 Million in prizes has been awarded to winners from across Ontario.
“Today, we celebrate our ninth consecutive millionaire,” says Glenn Craig, President and CEO of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation, “surpassing all expectations we had when we initially launched. With each new millionaire, the impact of our lottery grows, making our dreams of expanded programming, including cardiac surgery, soon to be a reality. We are looking forward to making some major announcements this fall.”
