This is the biggest Grand Prize in Thunder Bay 50/50 history outside of the annual December draw. During the now-famous call at 11:00 announcing the Grand Prize winner, Chad expressed his disbelief at winning. He has been a supporter since the very first draw and isn’t the only winner in his family. “I’ve been buying tickets since the very beginning; my aunt actually won a $5,000 Early Bird prize before,” said Chad. “I just can’t believe it; my wife is going to get her dream home.” “This is the largest Grand Prize we have ever awarded outside of our December draws, and we couldn’t be happier for Chad and his family,” said Glenn Craig, President & CEO of Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. “Thank you to everyone who plays the Thunder Bay 50/50. Your support makes moments like this possible and helps patients right here in Northwestern Ontario.” *NEW* November’s Thunder Bay 50/50 is now live, introducing Randomized Early Birds via the Thunder Bay 50/50 Cash Wheel.There are 30 chances to win and 30 prizes in the prize bank, totaling $163,000: one $50,000 prize, one $25,000 prize, four $10,000 prizes, six $5,000 prizes and 18 $1,000 prizes.
