DRYDEN — A Thunder Bay woman has won the grand prize in the Dryden Health Services Foundation's monthly 50/50 for April.
It took multiple attempts to reach her with the good news, but the foundation was finally able to get Tammy Krupa on the phone to tell her she was $106,567 richer.
"Oh my God, it's so wonderful. Thank you very much," Krupa told board chair Brad Coles.
She said she'd been out of the house when Coles phoned her twice, but did eventually see her name in a DHSF social media post.
Still, Krupa said, "I wasn't sure it was me. I was nervous all day."
During the phone call that her confirmed her good fortune, she promised Coles she would continue to support the Dryden 50/50.
Tickets can be purchased online for the fundraiser, the proceeds of which go toward the purchase of equipment for the local hospital.
