Terri MacDonald of Rosslyn, ON won $682,892 in the October Thunder Bay 50/50.

October’s Thunder Bay 50/50 awarded a lucky winner $682,892 cash.

The Grand Prize winner of this month’s jackpot is Terri MacDonald from Rosslyn, ON along with her brother Jamie MacDonald.

Terri was definitely shocked when she received the phone call notifying her that she won the October Grand Prize.  She could not wait to share the exciting news with her brother Jamie, who she purchased the tickets with and will be splitting the winnings with.

“The community support for the Thunder Bay 50/50 has been incredible.  It has allowed us to fund so many different pieces of equipment for our Hospital which we may not have been able to do otherwise,” says Glenn Craig, President and CEO of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. “October is Breast Cancer month, so we decided to allocate half of the proceeds from the October draw to Breast Cancer care in Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario.”

This was the ninth month of the Thunder Bay 50/50, which is a monthly raffle support of Thunder Bay’s Hospital, with a new Grand Prize draw on the last Friday of every month. Over $5.6 Million has been won since the 50/50 launched in January. Proceeds go towards purchasing vital, highest priority equipment needs for the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.  Half of October’s proceeds will be going towards Breast Cancer Care.
