Red Lake Woman Wins $648,562 in July’s Thunder Bay 50/50
The winner of July’s $648,562 Thunder Bay 50/50 jackpot is Betty-Ann Magel from Red Lake!
When she got the news last Friday, she could barely believe what she was hearing. “Are you sure??” she asked repeatedly.
“Yes, I am.” said Glenn Craig, President & CEO of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation, “Your number came up, and it’s your lucky day!”
“Is it ever!” Betty-Ann replied through tears.
Months from Retirement
Betty-Ann is just months from retiring after a 32 year career at her workplace, where she got the winning phone call. “This couldn’t have come at a better time.” she said, “This is the start of a good retirement!”
While she’s not yet sure how she’ll spend some of her jackpot, she says it will really make a difference.
July marks the 7th monthly Grand Prize draw in the Thunder Bay 50/50. Glenn Craig has the incredible job of calling the winners with the big news.
“Making these calls just never gets old.” he said, “Betty-Ann’s reaction brought our team to tears. It’s remarkable to be able to share wonderful life-changing news like this.
“What’s even more remarkable is that all proceeds from the Thunder Bay 50/50 fund equipment that our Hospital needs to treat patients – not only from Thunder Bay, but from communities across Northwestern Ontario like Red Lake.”
