The five of Spades was selected in the Week #5 draw of the Catch the Ace fundraising initiative, so Week #6 has officially begun.
Nancy Brown is taking home $536 for her Week #5 Draw win. The progressive jackpot is now sitting at an estimated $4,002 and will continue to grow as tickets are sold. Funds raised will support the purchase of an MRI system at Owen Sound Regional Hospital.
“This lottery is open to everyone 18 years and older. We encourage everyone who is eligible to participate as fundraising for a new MRI system will benefit us all,” said Al White, Chair of Bruce Peninsula Health Services Foundation. “It’s really exciting to now have a winner from the Bruce Peninsula!”
In the Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation office, there are now 47 playing cards individually sealed in manila envelopes on display. These envelopes are numbered from 1 through 52, with numbers 2, 12, 16, 19 and 42 no longer in play. Nobody knows which envelope contains the Ace of Spades – until the lucky winner catches it.
The MRI in the Owen Sound Regional Hospital is used over 10,000 times per year on patients from across Grey and Bruce to diagnose a range of medical conditions. Tests done with the next generation of MRI technology will be faster, quieter, and more comfortable for patients, and will provide physicians with higher quality images to aid in more accurate diagnoses.
