Share

The RVH Auxiliary 50/50 October draw made one woman from Georgina $349,192 richer.

“This is unbelievable,” said Sue Beatty of her win. “I didn’t believe it. The moment that it’s sinking in is now.”

Beatty said she purchases tickets to support local hospitals often, never really expecting to win. “I know that it’s going to a good cause, so even if you don’t win, it’s a good cause.”

The newest 50/50 winner said her windfall came at a good time for her family. “We have a daughter in university right now, so I couldn’t be more pleased.”

Beatty’s win marks the second-highest single-month grand prize.

The next 50/50 is already underway, with the grand prize draw set for November 27.

The RVH Auxiliary 50/50 draw helps support patient care closer to home.

Tickets are sold in bundles:

  • Three for $10
  • 50 for $25
  • 300 for $50
  • 1,000 for $90

There are two early bird draws on November 14 and 21 worth $10,000.

“You can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket, and if you don’t win, you’ve helped a good cause,” Beatty noted.
