Correction: An earlier version of this story stated that a Wawa woman named Michelle Albert won the draw, but the winner was Wawa man Michel Albert. Apologies for the confusion, a corrected version is below.

Wawa's firefighters are congratulating a Wawa man for claiming the first draw in an annual fundraising campaign.
Michel Albert won Saturday night's $1000 "Early Bird" draw in the Michipicoten Volunteer Firefighters Association annual cash draw, though Past President Kyle Ouellet notes it's not the only prize the ticket could win.
Noting ticket sales have raised about $13,000 so far, Ouellet reminds they support the firefighters.
Tickets are available throughout the community, including through firefighters.
The next $1000 draw will be held on Valentine's Day, with the final draws on March 5th, at the Wawa Ice Fishing Derby.
