Riverside Foundation for Health Care is excited to announce that the winner of the September 50/50 jackpot is Mickey Ryll of Fort Frances, ON with the winning ticket number GG-3728777. Ryll is the lucky recipient of $8.962 with the same amount going to the Foundation. The draw was made Friday, September 30th at 11:00am in the Foundation Office. Mickey, who has been purchasing tickets since the launch of the 50/50 said he has no idea yet what he will do with his winnings yet, but joked that it is karma as his wife has been known to give him a hard time about all his 50/50 ticket purchases. He indicated that he may do some work or his car, or put some of the funds aside for a trip.
Funds raised through the September draw will be supporting a new gynecological stretcher for the Obstetrics department valued at $8,000.
The Riverside 50/50 will be taking a short break while the Riverside Foundation participates in the Split the Pot Lottery, a multi-hospital lottery that benefits you and Ontario hospitals.
