Proceeds from Sault Area Hospital Foundation lottery programs help support the purchase of medical equipment for Sault Area Hospital.
This year, Sault Area Hospital Foundation (SAHF) held the 35th annual 5 Car Draw, offering 35 chances to win and over $365,000 in prizing. On June 27, five grand prizes were awarded, but thanks to your support, everyone in our community is a winner. Proceeds from the draw will help purchase vital medical equipment for Sault Area Hospital, making outstanding care possible.
Each of the grand prize winners were given the choice between a vehicle or a cash alternative. The decisions weren’t easy, with prizes including cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks, or cash prizes of up to $95,000.
Grand Prize 1 winner, Daniel Carrier of Sault Ste. Marie (CR-17756911) bought his ticket to support SAHF and was shocked to learn he won the choice between a Kia K4 or $25,000 cash! Daniel and his wife, Karen, were speechless. After taking the weekend to think it over, they decided to take the cash.
Grand Prize 2 winner, Peter McNichol, of Sault Ste. Marie (CR-18097965) initially missed our call. When he told a friend that SAHF had left him a voicemail, the friend asked, “Well, did you buy tickets!?” Peter called back and couldn’t believe he won the choice between a Honda HR-V or $35,000 cash. After taking some time to decide, he opted for the cash.
Grand Prize 3 winner, Chris Palahunuk of Sault Ste. Marie (CR-20002129) never expected to win, so he was unsure when we called to tell him he had won the choice between a Toyota Tacoma or $50,000 cash! After triple checking his numbers, he walked away with the cash prize.
Grand Prize 4 winner, Connie Slyzys of Sault Ste. Marie (CR-16237922) was told we wanted to make her Friday just a bit better – and we certainly did! When Connie found out she had won the choice between a Ford Bronco Big Bend or $70,000 cash, she couldn’t contain her excitement: “That’s incredible! You made my Friday AMAZING!” Having just purchased a new Ford, she chose the cash.
Grand Prize 5 winner, Robert Collins of Batchewana First Nation (CR-23893691) always buys tickets – but this year he grabbed them at the last minute! He was given the choice between a brand-new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 or $95,000 cash. With a brand new truck already in the driveway and home renovations underway, Robert said yes to the cash.
