March’s winner Randy Halmo, is a wedding DJ from Simcoe, Ontario. When he found out he won BIG on March 26^th, 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.
