When Charlotte McDonald of Kenora answered the phone to learn she’d won the June Grand Prize Jackpot in the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation’s monthly 50/50 lottery, her first reaction was disbelief. “This isn’t a crank call, is it?” she asked.
Moments later, as the news began to sink in that she was taking home $23,500 with winning ticket #1120030636, her excitement took over.”Oh my goodness. That’s wonderful!” she said.
Charlotte shared that she has never won anything like this before, making the surprise even sweeter.
The latest winner of the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation’s 50/50 draw is taking home the draw’s largest monthly jackpot in 2026 (and in fact, the draw’s largest monthly jackpot since last summer, with the exception of the Holiday 2025 jackpot). Lana Tuesday from Morson, Ontario received the great news on Friday that she’d won $25,755, with winning ticket 94014486.
March truly was a lucky month for Don and Shirley Carbert from Kenora.
On Friday, March 27, they received a phone call telling them they’d won the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation’s 50/50 March Grand Prize Jackpot of $18,567.50. They were elated, but couldn’t quite believe the news, as they had just won the second Early Bird Draw of $1,000 one week prior.
Don couldn’t believe it when he got the call: “No kidding…that’s unbelievable!” he said.
His wife Shirley was even more astonished: “I don’t believe you! What?!?” And then, “So now you want our picture taken. I got to go get my hair done!”
