Riverside Foundation for Health Care is excited to announce that the winner of the January Riverside 50/50 electronic raffle is Clayton Stang of Emo, ON. With a prize pot of $25,998, Stang takes home just two dollars shy of $26,000! The draw was made Friday, January 29th at 11:00am in the Foundation Office.
The shock of winning was two-fold for Stang. As his partner has been purchasing tickets for him monthly as a gift, he wasn’t even aware what day the draw was taking place. A close personal friend of ‘Ticket Tony’ Bliss, who was a dedicated seller of the Foundation’s Canada Day Cash Lottery tickets prior to his passing this past summer, Stang may have received a little luck from above. Stang does not have any immediate plans for his winnings but noted that since his partner purchased the ticket, they are currently in negotiations to determine how much he should share with her.
The January raffle marks the second month in a row in which the prize pot surpassed $25,000. Tickets for the February raffle are now on sale at www.riversidefoundation.ca/5050 at a cost of 3 for $5, 10 for $10 or our best deal, 60 for $20. If you prefer to purchase offline, call the Foundation Office at 274-4803 to make arrangements. Ticket sales close Thursday, February 25th with the draw taking place Friday, February 26.
Early ticket purchases help the pot to grow even larger and encourage even more sales, with February being a short month, don’t delay and purchase yours now. As always, thank you to West End Motors and Gillons’ Insurance for kicking off the prize pot with $250 each for a guaranteed prize of $500.
Riverside Foundation would like to congratulate our grand prize winner and thank everyone who purchased tickets. Your support will help to purchase much needed medical equipment that ensures we can keep health care close to home.
