(Thunder Bay, ON) – You are now a millionaire! That’s the news Health Sciences Foundation CEO Glenn Craig delivered today to Philip Duke of Thunder Bay, the grand prize winner of an incredible $1,660,795 in the October Thunder Bay 50/50 draw. “No way! That’s crazy!” Philip exclaimed, as he took in the news Glenn just shared.
“I bought the ticket at the beginning of the month and completely forgot about it,” Duke explained. Philip, who is currently an Engineer in Training, added, “I had the afternoon off and glad I did, because I don’t think I would have been able to work after receiving this news.”
“I know when I buy lottery tickets, I always dream about what I might do if I won,” Craig said. “Do you have anything on your bucket list?” Philip replied that he would like to pay off his student loans. “I never really thought about buying a house, but now I can probably look into that,” he added. He also mentioned that his brother has been bugging him about a trip to Japan, and might actually do that – it’s a little bit more feasible now.
With spooky season coming to an end and the holiday season soon upon us, Philip Duke’s incredible win serves as a reminder of the excitement and possibility that can arise from participating in the Thunder Bay 50/50 draw.
This month’s winner now marks our 14th consecutive millionaire.
