Weston Igo and his family, past winner of the February 2024 50/50 Grand Prize of $1,247,688!
In February 2024, Weston Igo from Thunder Bay, Ontario, got the call that most people only dream about – he had won the Thunder Bay 50/50 grand prize, taking home an incredible $1,247,688! Now that a few months have passed, we caught up with Weston to see how his life has changed since that unforgettable moment.
"Life has become a lot more comfortable," says Weston. "Not having to worry about bills as much has been a huge relief. The Thunder Bay 50/50 lottery is nothing short of amazing. 'Anyone can win; I'm proof of that,' he adds."
One of the biggest changes for the Igo family has been Weston's wife ability to leave her job. She now helps with the family business, something they couldn't have managed before. Paying off debts has also lifted a huge weight off their shoulders, allowing them to enjoy life more.
“We're living more comfortably now,” Weston reflects. The win has given them a chance to plan for the future too. They've got some exciting travel plans lined up and are looking forward to making new memories together.
Weston's story is a wonderful reminder of how the Thunder Bay 50/50 lottery can change lives. Each ticket not only supports vital healthcare in Northwestern Ontario but also holds the potential to transform someone's life in a big way.
So, if you're holding a ticket, keep dreaming big. Just like Weston Igo and his family, your life-changing moment could be just a ticket away.
