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.
