A Good “News” Friday for March 50/50 Winner


Jon Cada of Blind River is the winner of the March 50/50 Grand Prize of $1,740,910.

Jon Cada is March-ing into spring with the life-changing news that he is now a millionaire. Jon got the call this morning that his $50 ticket package won him $1,740,910 as March’s 50/50 grand prize winner!

“It’s a Great Friday, not just a Good Friday,” says Jon. “Friends and family have been in and out of hospitals over the years, so your 50/50 was an easy one to support.”

To date, over $37 Million in prizes has been awarded to winners from across Ontario. In turn, millions of dollars has been raised to Do More Faster for better healthcare at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.

“Buying your ticket is also a life-changing moment for thousands of patients at the Hospital,” says Glenn Craig, President & CEO of the Health Sciences Foundation. “This is because proceeds from every ticket purchased go directly to local healthcare equipment and services to ensure we have the high-quality, closer-to-home care we all deserve.”
