“When we launched the draw back in January, we certainly had high hopes that the jackpot would be in the six figures. To see it where it is now is astonishing and frankly, somewhat unbelievable,” Glenn Craig, President and CEO, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. “The success of this draw is very much due to the people across our region, and indeed our province, who have purchased tickets and shared their excitement with friends and family. We are extremely grateful for the support and can’t wait to call Friday’s winner with the great news. At the same time, our entire community wins as the proceeds from this draw will be used to support vital medical equipment at the Hospital, which serves people from all across Northwestern Ontario.”
Craig added, “What many people may not realize is that the Thunder Bay 50/50 will be held monthly and the last Friday of the month will be the grand prize draw. So all year we will be giving people chances to win big cash prizes, along with giving our health care professionals the tools they need to provide world-class care.”
