THUNDER BAY — A city man is the latest winner of the Dryden Health Services Foundation's monthly 50/50.
Raymond Johnson's numbers came up in the grand prize draw for March, giving him a windfall of $113,445.
After he drove from Thunder Bay to pick up his winnings last week, he told Brad Coles – chair of the foundation's board of directors – he felt "pretty awesome right now."
But Johnson admitted to being very skeptical when he first took a phone call from Coles telling him he had won.
"I'm glad you convinced me," he quipped when he picked up his cheque.
Johnson said he supports multiple hospital fundraisers in Northwestern Ontario, and added "You guys are doing a wonderful job in a small town. Keep up the good work."
