And the lucky winners?
Edgar and Gerri Lucas of Barry’s Bay won the grand total prize of $470,000. The pair bought their ticket online and picked up their winnings at a cheque presentation last week.
The couple are from Oshawa but Edgar’s parents purchased a cottage on Kamaniskeg Lake in 1974. He says over the last 50 years his family has used the Barry’s Bay hospital’s emergency department. They have also givem back to the hospital when Edgar had a kettle corn business.
Although they worked in Bowmanville for 40 years, Edgar owned an art gallery and Gerri worked at a Credit Union, they are now retired and spend the majority of their time in Barry’s Bay.
The Lucas’s say that they plan on going on vacation with family and fixing up their cottage in Barry’s Bay.
Through the Catch the Ace lottery, approximately $636,000 was raised for essential medical equipment at St. Francis Memorial Hospital.
