Toronto woman wins $570K in Sudbury hospital’s 50/50 January draw
Ms. M. Vogl of Toronto is the winner of the Health Sciences North Foundation’s 50/50 draw for January, taking home $570,642.
“I knew I wanted to buy tickets for a health care lottery and friends of mine from Sudbury had mentioned the HSN 50/50 previously,” Vogl said in a news release from HSN on Thursday.
“I checked my emails on Jan. 31 and there was a message that the HSN 50/50 deadline was approaching and thought, why not?”
Vogl purchased her ticket at 8 p.m. on Jan. 31, just four hours before the January ticket deadline.
“I feel so lucky,” she said.
“The jackpot will definitely help me pay off some things and still have plenty left over to share with my family and make some memories.”
“We are thrilled for Ms. Vogl for her HSN 50/50 win to kick off 2023,” Anthony Keating, the foundation’s president and chief development officer.
“It is fantastic to see that the HSN 50/50 has spread throughout Ontario, and that their connections with northeastern Ontario compel them to support HSN.”
The February HSN 50/50 draw is live at www.hsn5050.ca.
Residents across Ontario over the age of 18 can purchase tickets. Tickets for the February draw are available to purchase right now, with sales ending at 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 28. The jackpot-winning ticket will be drawn March 1 at 10 a.m.
