Wade Durham from Thunder Bay was the lucky winner of the March Thunder Bay 50/50 Grand Prize draw, bringing home a whopping $731,215.
“This is crazy!,” Wade said when he received the phone call notifying him about his winnings, “I’ve been buying tickets since almost the beginning, and at the end of every month I tell my wife ‘ Today’s the day!’ Then obviously it’s come and gone… I can actually call her now and tell her it’s actually the day.”
Wade says he and his wife Sarah will use part of their winnings to pay some bills and save for schooling for their young kids.
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.
“It’s always so exciting for me to make that phone call the last Friday of each month,” says Glenn Craig, President and CEO of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. “I love hearing the shock and excitement on the other end of the line, and it’s a win-win: we’ve given away millions, but we’ve also been able to purchase millions of dollars of equipment for our Hospital.”
