On November 30th at 11 am, Robin Reid of Churchill, ON, won the $238,327.50 jackpot in the Sault Area Hospital Foundation’s (SAHF) November electronic and online 50/50 draw. Her lucky number (M-5775983) was drawn electronically, and she was contacted immediately.
Robin grew up in Sault Ste. Marie, and was home visiting her parents when she bought her ticket. “It was actually my dad that convinced me to buy a ticket. I’m glad I listened to him!” said Robin. Her winning ticket was the first she had purchased for an SAHF 50/50 draw.
“My family has gotten care at that hospital, and I knew it was a good cause… but I had no idea how much I could win. I’m still in shock,” she said on the afternoon of the draw. Robin plans to use her $238,327.50 prize toward a new home she’s been shopping for, an education fund for her son, and some smart investments.
Tickets for SAHF’s December 50/50 draw are already on sale, and to celebrate a fantastic first year the draw is launching with a GUARANTEED $200,000 JACKPOT! That means our December winner will take home a minimum of $200,000, and if sales exceed $400,000 (which they have for the last 3 months), the jackpot will start getting EVEN BIGGER!
“SAHF 50/50 tickets make a great holiday gift that helps our whole community,” said Teresa Martone, Executive Director of the Sault Area Hospital Foundation. “Not only does the ticket holder get a chance to win up to 4 exciting early bird draws PLUS a massive cash jackpot; every dollar raised helps our hospital purchase critical medical equipment that helps care for the people we love most. What a great way to celebrate the holidays!”
