Thunder Bay’s December 50/50 winner draws $7.7 million

,

Patrick Chilton of Timmins and Moose Factory has won $7,720,930 in the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation’s (TBRHSF) December 50/50 draw.

The December 50/50 has set a new fundraising record for the TBRHSF, which puts half of the money from every 50/50 ticket towards Thunder Bay’s hospital.

The Thunder Bay 50/50 has raised more than $90 million for the foundation to date, and an additional $90 million for prize winners.

Chilton has a history of working in the health care industry, including in Sioux Lookout and the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority.

Chilton says he will likely use some of his winnings for a vacation to Mexico with his wife.

A $12,000 donation is helping the Regional Hospital’s cardiovascular surgery campaign.

The Masons of Western District say while Thunder Bay is outside of their group’s territory, they wanted to help because the hospital serves the entire region.

The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation says they’re thankful for the donation toward their cardiac and vascular surgery unit.

The campaign has raised over $11.5-million of its $14-million goal so far. When it is fully operational, the Foundation says it will help up to 1,100 patients each year who would otherwise need to travel to southern Ontario for treatment.
