THUNDER BAY -- Christmas came a little bit early for Sandra Kadolph.
The Thunder Bay woman on Friday learned she's the winner of the Thunder Bay 50/50 draw, taking home a prize of $580,412.
She's been crossing her fingers since the monthly draw began earlier this year.
"Every Thursday I tell myself 'Oh maybe I'll get the call tomorrow!'." she said, after receiving a phone call from Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation president and CEO Glenn Craig.
"But last night I told myself not to think about it... and now you're calling me."
The foundation has given out more than $6.3 million in prizes.
The December draw is now open, with tickets on sale at www.thunderbay5050.ca.
It includes four early-bird draws, a pair worth $2,000, a $5,000 draw next Friday and a $10,000 draw on Dec. 29. Tickets range from $10 for five number to $100 for 500 numbers.
