Jay and Julie Jessop are ecstatic at winning the prize for a second time and can’t wait to start giving to their community
Health Sciences North (HSN) Foundation, NEO Kids Foundation, Northern Cancer Foundation, and the HSN Volunteer Association have announced November’s HSN 50/50 Cash Lottery for the North jackpot of $476,808 has been won by Jay and Julie Jessop of Sudbury.
If that wasn’t lucky enough, back In October, the couple took home more than $500,000 in that month’s draw.
“This is the second time loyal ticket purchasers Jay and Julie have won the HSN 50/50 grand prize and the odds are astronomical,” the release reads.
The couple said they are simply overwhelmed at their unbelievable luck.
“I mean, what is there to say, really? We’re just very, very overwhelmed. It’s incredibly surreal” said a still shocked Jay Jessop a day after the draw was made, “We’re not even sure what to say to each other now after yesterday, let alone talk to friends and family. We just can’t believe our luck.”
“Of course, I was a mess all day yesterday. We were so blessed to win the first time and this is just so over the top.” said Julie Jessop. “Our minds immediately went to giving back. We know how important it is to help children, especially during the holiday season. We’re so thankful to be able to take care of our family, but now we can also make a difference in our community and we’re excited at that prospect.”
