“Jack” Wins The Jackpot !
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
ARCH is pleased to announce that John (Jack) Cormack has won $17,028 from the August 50/50 Grand Prize Draw with ticket number #B-2072123. He thought the call was for his wife, Norie, who volunteers and works at ARCH. Jack was calm when he won. He said “I don’t play to win. There are thousands that may be needier than me. I feel lucky to have won.”
Jack decided when the local 50/50s started that he would support local and chose to play. He has been support ARCH and other local charities and 50/50 draws since the beginning. This is his first win, and he couldn’t be happier that his support is going to a good cause. All of us at ARCH are very grateful for his continued support.
Jack plans to use the money to pay some bills and has no plans to buy anything “fancy”. He plans to continue volunteering at ARCH. Jack shared he spent 35 year in the air force and has travelled to many places. His favourite was Austria. “It is a beautiful country, with mountains and very friendly people.”
Jack has a close personal connection to ARCH. His first wife, Marlie, was a resident of ARCH for three months before her passing in 2012. He couldn’t say enough about the care she received from the staff and what a beautiful view she had from her room. He remembered fondly, the daily ‘happy hour’ they spend in the garden. Jack continues to support ARCH with his time, as well, volunteering at our events.
“It is so nice to see someone with a close connection to ARCH win our draw. It feels amazing to be able to help people who have continuously supported us. ARCH is so thankful for all of the love from the community for our 50/50 Draw. Our residents and their families greatly benefit from your contributions,” shared Julie Premo, Manager of Training & Coordination with ARCH.
