WINDSOR, Ontario, April 5, 2021 — Ticket sales are now open for the Windsor Regional Hospital Foundation’s April MEGA MONTHLY 50/50. As of 9am today, the event is live with a guaranteed prize of $7,999.
This month will feature TWO $1,000 Early Bird prizes on Wednesday, April 14th and Wednesday, April 21st, both drawn at 11:59am. The final draw will take place on Friday, April 30th at 11:59am. February’s winner, Randy Halmo, won $93,025.
March’s winner Randy Halmo, is a wedding DJ from Simcoe, Ontario. When he found out he won BIG on March 26th, he was singing a happy tune.
“It’s quite a shock,” he says. “I’m a little emotional right now.”
After hearing about the lottery online and with frontline workers in hospitals struggling to care for patients with COVID-19, he decided to purchase tickets.
“It’s nice to win the money but most important, we need to support all of our hospitals right across Canada with COVID-19, “ he says. “Even when COVID-19 isn’t here, it is important to support hospitals.”
The wedding industry has been hit over the past year because of the pandemic, so the money comes at a perfect time for Halmo who celebrates a milestone anniversary in a few months.
“We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary on May 18th and we are going to take some of the money and do a daytrip,” he says adding the money will also be used to pay some bills and invest in long-term savings.
Proceeds from the Windsor Regional Hospital Foundation’s 50/50 draws have supported the purchase of critically needed medical equipment across both the Ouellette and Met campuses. Equipment purchases have included a state-of-the-art 3D Digital Mammography machine, and vital cardiology, diagnostic, and critical care equipment.
