Thunder Bay 50/50: Early Bird Draw of $1,000 this Friday
Published Wednesday, April 14, 2021
The cash keeps coming in the Thunder Bay 50/50! This Friday another lucky purchaser will take home $1,000 in the 2nd Early Bird Prize of this month’s draw. Huguette Paré was the lucky winner of the first $1,000 Early Bird on March 31. Currently the take-home Grand Prize is sitting at $362,120 and continues to climb with just over two weeks to go before someone will win it!
Last month’s winner – Edna Parsons – was thrilled and shocked when she won $664,885 on March 26. “I had to ask for the amount to be repeated,” she laughed. “And I asked for my ticket number to be confirmed because I honestly couldn’t believe I’d won. I purchased tickets in the February draw, and again at the very beginning of March, but I had this thought that I should buy again on March 18th and so I bought another 30 tickets for $20, and it was that set of tickets that won!” she exclaimed. “I would encourage everyone to grab a second set of tickets.”
“Of course I’m delighted with my win, but it makes a big difference where the rest of the money goes. I’m very happy that the Foundation gets its share to help pay for new equipment at the Hospital,” she added.
