ROSSLYN – A Rosslyn resident is over $400,000 richer after winning April’s HSN 50/50 jackpot.
Health Sciences North Foundation, NEO Kids Foundation, Northern Cancer Foundation, and the HSN Volunteer Association announced that this month’s 50/50 jackpot of $437,968 has been won by Janet Haycock of Rosslyn.
Haycock has played the 50/50 for a while and said that she still cant quite believe that she had actually won.
“This is such an incredible moment in my life. I feel so fortunate,” she said. “This is a chance for me to clear some bills and support my family and I don’t know if I’ll ever truly grasp it, even when the cheque is in my hands.”
Anthony Keating, president and chief development officer of foundations and volunteer groups at HSN in Sudbury, said that Haycock’s excitement was contagious when she was told the good news.
“Supporters of the HSN 50/50 like Janet are having an incredible impact on healthcare for residents of Northeastern Ontario,” he said.
Press play to see Haycock's reaction here.
“For Laurie, a community member with a condition causing progressive hearing loss, your support meant staying close to home for an innovative treatment made possible at HSN by HSN 50/50 players."
