Crystal Covello (and family) and Valerie Covello are the winners of the winner of the May 2022 Thunder Bay 50/50 jackpot.

Crystal Covello from Thunder Bay, ON is the lucky winner of the May Thunder Bay 50/50 Grand Prize draw, bringing home a jackpot of $615,790.

Crystal was in utter shock when she was the recipient of the famous phone call on the last Friday of the month from Glenn Craig, President and CEO of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation.

“There’s no way!,” Crystal said when she heard the news. She shared that she actually purchased tickets with her mother-in-law, Valerie Covello, so she will be spitting the winnings with her, and will be putting her share towards a new house.

The Thunder Bay 50/50 is a monthly draw in which proceeds go towards purchasing vital equipment and making upgrades at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and its satellite programs across Northwestern Ontario. To date, over $12 Million in prizes has been awarded to winners from across Ontario, and in turn, millions of dollars of vital equipment has been purchased for the Hospital.

“It feels good to deliver the good news that someone has just won hundreds of thousands of dollars,” says Glenn Craig, President and CEO of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. “We are launching our June draw today, and we are always changing the Early Bird prize board from month-to-month to keep things exciting.
