A very lucky Wawa resident is $1000 richer, after this morning's Valentine's Day draw from the Michipicoten Volunteer Firefighter Association.
Nellie Harvey's ticket was drawn this morning, earning her the second $1000 prize from the fundraising campaign, after Josee Rioux won the Early Bird Draw in December, though both tickets are back in for the remaining draws - there are three more $1000 draws to be made at 5pm Sunday, March 8th, at the Wawa Ice Fishing Derby, along with the $10,000 grand prize draw.
Captain Craig Spooner says sales are "in line with" this time last year, encouraging everyone to get a ticket.
Spooner reminds proceeds from the draw help the Association offer two annual bursaries to local high school students pursuing a career in emergency services - and the funds also help with public education, and training and equipment for the local firefighters.
