Larry Gee is taking home $525 for his Week #6 Draw win in the Catch the Ace hospital fundraising initiative. The progressive jackpot is now sitting at an estimated $4,790 and will continue to grow as tickets are sold. Funds raised will support the purchase of an MRI system at Owen Sound Regional Hospital.
“Thank you to Shelley Boyd, MRI Charge Technologist, who drew our lucky winner this week. She is very excited to see the lottery continue to progress as funds will assist her department,” said Amy McKinnon, Executive Director of Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation. “We are anticipating that our progressive jackpot will surpass $5,000 for Week 7. Make sure you purchase your tickets before Thursday, September 13 at 10 a.m.”
In the Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation office, there are now 46 playing cards individually sealed in manila envelopes on display. These envelopes are numbered from 1 through 52, with numbers 2, 12, 16, 19, 35 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.
