Ernie Tanguay – December 50/50 Winner!

Congratulations for our December ‘Won’ Vancouver 50/50 Staff Lottery winners!

Will you be next? Can’t win if you don’t have a ticket!

Just in time to pay the January bills, our December winners in the Won Vancouver 50/50 Staff Lottery were Amrit Sandhu and Ernie Tanguay! Amrit and Ernie won $3442.50 and $3385 respectively. Congratulations to both of you! A full list of all previous winners is available on the Won Vancouver intranet page.

Who will win on January 27? It might be you…if you have a ticket! One ticket keeps you in every draw for the rest of the 2016/17 lottery year.

Buy your ticket(s) today to be entered in February’s draw. The more staff with tickets, the bigger each share of the 50/50! Sign up here: 2016-17 lottery registration.

Where does the other half of the “50” go? To the VGH Foundation, to support the funding of equipment for our hospitals and community-based programs. Proceeds from the 2015-16 Won Vancouver 50/50 Staff Lottery meant a contribution of $163,384 to the Foundation! In turn, the Foundation purchased four ventilators for use at VGH and George Pearson Centre.

So what are our December winners going to do with their cash? Here’s what one of them had to say:

What does winning the 50/50 lottery mean to you? 

It means the world! I feel very lucky: I haven’t won anything like this before! I’m travelling to Asia this month, so some of it will be spent overseas. And, the rest will be put away for a rainy day.

The next 50/50 Staff Lottery is January 27!

What would you do with your winnings? There are two (or three) chances to win every month (depending on the corresponding pay periods) and you only need to sign up once to participate. The more tickets sold means the larger the winnings for staff and more funding for the Foundation.
