Peterborough’s Peter Sullivan wins $44,775 in PRHC Foundation’s 50/50 lottery
$6,000 Welcome Bonus
Peterborough resident Peter Sullivan is $44,775 richer after winning the latest Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) Foundation 50/50 lottery.
Sullivan won the grand prize when his ticket number D-1982608 was drawn last Friday (April 1). He also has the choice of a bonus prize of either a $2,500 Resorts of Ontario gift certificate or an additional $2,000 in cash.
Since the lottery launched last fall, over $240,000 has been awarded. Previous grand prize winners include Mary Overholt, Judy Johnston, Wendy Bianco, and Christina Dicosmo.
The next PRHC Foundation 50/50 lottery, presented by Peterborough Subaru, is now underway. Tickets are on sale online only at prhcfoundation5050.com, where you can buy 10 tickets for $10, 40 tickets for $20, 160 tickets for $40, or 400 tickets for $75. Ticket buyers must be 18 years of age or older and in the province of Ontario to play.
The more tickets you purchase, the greater your odds of winning. Half of all the ticket sales in the 50/50 lottery go the PRHC Foundation to support equipment and technology at the hospital that the government doesn’t fund.
The lottery runs until midnight on Tuesday, May 17th with the grand prize winner drawn the following day. The grand prize consists of the jackpot, which grows every time more tickets are purchased, plus a bonus prize of a $2,500 Resorts of Ontario gift certificate or $2,000 cash.
Ticket buyers are also automatically entered in two early bird draws totalling $4,500 in cash on “WINning Wednesdays” — with $2,500 cash awarded on April 21 and $2,000 cash on May 5.
