Toonie Winner Collects Over 12 Hundred Dollars

And the winner is number 383… with that, Shirley Cail picked up a $1233 jackpot in tonight’s Pugwash Fire Department Toonie Draw.

The jackpot accumulated over the last three weeks as no winner was found in the previous two draws. While there are over 900 registered numbers, you cannot win unless you enter a toonie. Some people pay in advance, some for the entire year, to ensure their number is eligible for the weekly 50/50 prize.

With prepaid subscribers, the fire department knows that the jackpot for next Wednesday already holds $259. That builds with every toonie entered over the next seven days.
