Grateful Patient, Erin Kolodziej, Wins Our Spring Lottery Early Bird Prize!

First, we wanted to thank everyone who has purchased tickets to St. Joseph’s Hope Springs 50/50 Spring Lottery. We are grateful to each of you, our generous community of friends and supporters, for continuing to embrace this new way to support our Hospital while having the chance to win big.

On Thursday, May 20th (at 12 noon), using an automated, randomized number generation system including all verified online ticket purchases that occurred before May 19th at 11:59 p.m., we drew the winning Early Bird prize ticket number in our 50/50 lottery. It was ticket #A-5703850 and the holder was Erin Kolodziej, who takes home a cool $500!

“I know everyone probably says this…but I never win anything! I’m delighted to be the early bird winner, but am even more happy that my tickets are also supporting St. Joe’s. I’m a grateful patient of the thoracic surgery team and the respirologists at the Firestone Clinic for Respiratory Health and I can’t say enough good things about the way they have cared for me. We’re so fortunate to have a Hospital like St. Joe’s right here in our city,” says Kolodziej.

Our ever-growing jackpot total is currently at an incredible $23,900 and rising every day! Tickets are still available to purchase up until June 3rd at 11:59 p.m., and the jackpot is guaranteed to continue rising as we get closer to that date. To purchase more tickets click here.
