SASKATOON – Jason Zawerucka of Christopher Lake became Saskatchewan’s newest millionaire, winning the grand prize of $1 million in the Roughrider & Children’s Hospital Foundations Lottery, championed by The Mosaic Company.
“I haven't really bought any kind of lottery ticket in a long time, and I just thought, ‘Hey you know what, I think it's time to start again.’ I scrolled across the Roughrider & Children's Hospital Foundations Lottery page and thought this would be appropriate, and being in the health-care field this is something I felt I needed to support, so that's what I did!” said Zawerucka.
The Roughrider & Children’s Hospital Foundations Lottery offered over 1,000 prizes worth over $2 million, over 300 cash prizes, and for the first time there were 10 grand prizes including the top grand prize of $1 million cash.
The Halftime 50/50 reached a jackpot of $1,010,275, with Anita Ford of Regina taking home $505,137.50.
