Riverside Foundation for Health Care is excited to announce that the winner of the June 50/50 jackpot is Kelly Plichta of Fort Frances, with the winning ticket number DD-6223007. Kelly is the lucky recipient of $9,658 with the same amount going to the Foundation. The draw was made Thursday, June 29 at 11 a.m. in the Foundation Office.
Kelly purchases tickets because it’s a good cause. She stated that she’s never won anything before so was quite excited about this windfall. Her and her daughter were in the process of planning a trip to Germany and these winnings will allow them to do some activities that they were previously going to pass on because of the cost.
Tickets for the July raffle are available now at www.riverside5050.ca or by calling the Foundation Office at 274-4803 to arrange for offline sales. Tickets are 10 for $5, 20 for $10, 100 for $20 or our best deal of 250 chances for $40. A $500 early bird draw sponsored by West End Motors and Westland Insurance will take place Wednesday, July 19th at 11:00am. Ticket sales for the jackpot close Sunday, June 30th at 9:00pm with the draw taking place Monday, June 31st at 11:00 am.
All funds raised from the current draw will be put towards the purchase of a new fridge and temperature control monitors for the Pharmacy at Riverside. At an estimated cost of ~$35,000 total we expect to have enough funds by the end of August!
