The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation (PRHF) has announced the Week 35 winner of its Catch the Ace progressive jackpot raffle, proudly presented by OK Tire Pembroke.
Congratulations go to Deborah Mercredi of Petawawa, who won the weekly prize of $21,305. Roger Martin, Executive Director of the PRHF, shared that the Week 36 draw is now underway, with the jackpot estimated at over $500,000 if the Ace of Spades is found.
Since the launch of the raffle 35 weeks ago, more than $747,000 has been raised. Funds have helped purchase 10 new hospital beds valued at $117,170 and two new ultrasound machines worth $200,000 each. The foundation is now working toward raising $500,000 for a new CT scanner.
The weekly raffle features a guaranteed cash prize and a growing jackpot for the lucky ticket that reveals the Ace of Spades. Ticket bundles are priced at 3 for $5, 10 for $10, 50 for $20, or 250 for $40. Half of all ticket sales go directly toward purchasing vital hospital equipment.
The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation thanks the community for its continued generosity and support. Donations can also be made anytime at www.prhfoundation.com or by calling (613) 732-2811 ext. 7408.
