Previous Purchaser Winner

April 6th 2011

John T Waugh of Meadow Lake was pleasantly surprised when he received a call this morning to inform him that he had just won $1000.00 in Battleford Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation’s Monthly Lottery draw.  BUH Foundation volunteer Kay Sidebottom drew the Previous Purchaser ticket from the drum, with lottery auditor Suzanne Odishaw of Menssa Baert Cameron Odishaw, Chartered Accountants, in attendance. 

When asked what he thought he might do with this unexpected windfall, John replied, “Think I might take the wife on a little trip.”  John’s ticket was the first of 158 draws that will happen over the next year, with a total prize value of $50,000.00.  Congratulations John and happy trails!

The 2011-2012 Monthly Lottery tickets are still available for purchase at BUH Foundation office, Main Lobby BUH, BUHF Canteen/Gift Shop or by calling (306) 446 6652.  The next ticket deadline is 5pm Friday April 15, 2012.  Proceeds have been allocated to purchase equipment for BUH’s new Endoscopic Suite.
