A Brantford woman won a $112,263 jackpot in a 50-50 draw supporting the Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., hospital.

Tammy Lapointe was contacted immediately after the November draw

Lapointe grew up in Echo Bay, near Sault Ste. Marie. Many of her extended family members, including her son, still live in Sault Ste. Marie area.

Lapointe has consistently supported the Sault Area Hospital Foundation 50/50 but was floored when she got the call.

When asked about her plans for the winnings, she said: “I’m still in shock! I’m certainly going to have a great Christmas, and I’ll save some for my retirement.”
