Our First Holiday Wishes Early Bird Winner!

 width=

On Dec. 7 at noon, we drew the winning ticket for our first Early Bird prize of $500! Pam W. from Mount Hope is the lucky holder of the winning ticket: A-9865742. Pam says she plans to use the $500 to help with holiday shopping this year while also making the season extra special for those less fortunate.

“I’ll be using the winnings to buy for others, and to give back a little bit this year. All of my children are adults, so I’d like to buy some toys for kids who may not have that much under the tree this Christmas,” Pam says.

If you weren’t the lucky winner this time, don’t fret because there’s still THREE MORE CHANCES for you to win big while supporting St. Joe’s. See the draw schedule below!

  • Win BIG – The Early Bird Draw for $1,000 is on Dec. 14 at noon!
  • Win BIGGER – The Early Bird Draw for $2,500 is on Dec. 29 at noon!
  • Win BIGGEST! – The Grand Prize Draw for the JACKPOT is on Jan. 4 at noon!

The take-home jackpot is already soaring over $30,000 and it keeps growing until the last day of ticket sales on January 3 at midnight! We’ll continue to keep you posted on our upcoming early bird draws and ticket purchase deadlines. In the meantime, thank you for taking part in the Holiday Wishes 50/50 Lottery – where half of ticket sold make up the ever-growing prize pot, while the other half supports the care our Hospital is proud to provide.
