December Thunder Bay 50/50's Guaranteed $2.5 Million Grand Prize Biggest in Foundation – and Canadian – History
Any way you cut it, the Ontario-wide Thunder Bay 50/50 Draw has had the biggest payouts of any hospital 50/50 in Canada. Last year's December Thunder Bay 50/50 Grand Prize hit $3,983,185 – almost double the initial $2 million guarantee.
The stakes are even higher this year, said Glenn Craig, President and CEO of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. The December 50/50 starts out with a guaranteed $2.5 million Grand Prize – the largest guaranteed 50/50 draw ever – plus an additional $250,000 in bonus prizes.
“I'll leave it to others to speculate about what the Grand Prize could reach, other than to say that I wouldn't be surprised if it's another record breaker,” Craig said.
The Thunder Bay 50/50 Draw has made new millionaires across Ontario every month for the last 15 months. With this year's guaranteed prize amounts, Thunder Bay's favourite draw will surpass $50 million in all-time payouts. Growing media attention means even more people are finding out about the Draw, pushing the Grand Prize even higher. December 50/50 tickets just may be Thunder Bay's – and Ontario's – biggest stocking stuffer this year.
“One lucky winner will walk away with a life-changing fortune beyond their wildest dreams,” Craig said.
This year's December 50/50 also features $250,000 in Early Bird's including a total $105,000 in prizes to be won in just the first week!
“This month more than ever, it pays to get your tickets early,” Craig said.
Once again, the December 50/50 includes different packages and bonus numbers, including a December only Special Holiday Ticket Package with 2,000 chances to win:
- $10 for 5 numbers + BONUS 5 numbers = 10 numbers
- $20 for 30 numbers + BONUS 20 numbers = 50 numbers
- $50 for 150 numbers + BONUS 50 numbers = 200 numbers
- $100 for 500 numbers + BONUS 200 numbers = 700 numbers
- $250 Special Holiday Ticket Package for 1,500 numbers + BONUS 500 = 2,000 numbers (Great for groups!)
