We all wonder what how we would react when we hear that we’ve won the lottery. In summary – mine has been complete disbelief. And I mean disbelief – just ask my family and friends (and the bank teller who was requested to perform a “zero” count – Yes, Mrs. Lobo – there are that many zeros after the 5. Truly). And a lesson to all – don’t procrastinate. This is an amazing lottery that can give joy to your life as well as helping out within our health care system. Thank you so much WinWin50 Staff Lottery and all those involved. The sense of security this win has provided my family is priceless. And to my office mates who figure they are now out of luck – I did google “lightning strikes twice” and found out contrary to folk wisdom, lightning can hit the same spot (or almost the same spot) more than once. So here’s to lightning my friends!

It’s a great surprise but it hasn’t really sunk in yet. I never thought I would win. I do need some renovations done at home so maybe the money will help out with that.

I've worked with Alberta Health Services for 21 years and health care is a cause near and dear to my heart. I want to make sure I give back so care is there for our community when it's needed.

It's important we continue working together in supporting our health care. I'm happy I'm part of this because it gives me the chance to help contribute to improving services in our communities.

We’re grateful for the lottery support to our community health care. The proceeds from the lottery will help fund needed equipment.

It’s supporting my hospital and our patients that truly motivates me in participating in the lottery, and I really didn’t expect to win.

My passion is senior care. I like working with seniors because they enrich our lives with their history and stories – we have so much to learn from them and they’re an important part of our community.

It’s the bigger picture that counts. So many people need help and I’m really happy to be part of such a great cause. It’s satisfying to know part of my payroll donations go to hospitals in Calgary where my family and I have had treatment in the past.

This came as a shocking and pleasant surprise. I never imagined that I would win anything but I am grateful as it seems like an answered prayer in disguise. This will help with some outstanding bill payments and many other things. I am truly grateful.

I participate because the proceeds from WinWin50 go to a good cause, more specifically, back to the Peter Lougheed Centre which is very important to me. I plan to use the money to pay off some bills, spoil my grandchildren and take my kids on a trip to Mexico! I am so excited, this is amazing and I still can’t believe I won!
