A winner has been announced in the CKHA Foundation’s Igniting Healthcare 50/50 draw. Matthew Baumann from Thunder Bay is the winner of the grand prize jackpot of $65,200.
Officials with the Foundation say Baumann won another hospital lottery almost a year ago, which inspired him to continue supporting other hospital 50/50 draws throughout Ontario, including the Igniting Healthcare Holiday 50/50 in Chatham-Kent.
Baumann says he will likely to continue to support other charity lotteries, and plans to use his most recent winnings to take a trip to Europe this summer.
The fundraiser brought in grand total of $130,400 with proceeds supporting the purchase of a new Fluoroscopy machine for the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance. Officials are already planning for their next 50/50 draw to be held in the spring.
