Both the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital Foundation and their latest 50/50 winner are celebrating after their largest grand prize to date was handed out last week.
Leona Giesbrecht was the recipient of $75,100 through the monthly 50/50 raffle, which supports the purchase of life-saving equipment at STEGH.
When the hospital foundation called Leona to let her now she was their big winner, she noted she needed to sit down before hearing the amount she’d won.
Leona and her husband Dave said they will utilize some of the winnings on a couple of upcoming trips and plan to share with family, including their ten grandchildren.
Those hoping to be the next big winner can purchase tickets for the January draw at stegh5050.ca.
