Missing: $2.5 Million Thunder Bay 50/50 Winner
Published Friday, June 26, 2026
Somewhere, someone has just won $2,529,382 in the June Thunder Bay 50/50 and they have absolutely no idea.
At 11:00 a.m., Health Sciences Foundation CEO Glenn Craig made his grand prize winner phone call, but it went straight to voicemail. Despite repeated calls throughout the day, the winner has yet to answer.
This is the first time in Thunder Bay 50/50 history the Foundation has been unable to reach a winner.
Here's one clue: the phone number associated with the winning ticket has a 705 area code.
The winning ticket number is: R-718589506
"It's a call we all look forward to making every month," said Craig. "Instead, this month we're left wondering when our winner will discover they've become a multi-millionaire. Somewhere, someone is going about their day completely unaware they've just won more than $2.5 million."
Rest assured, we're not giving up. We'll continue reaching out until we connect with our winner.
If you have a 705 area code and purchased tickets for the June Thunder Bay 50/50, now is a great time to check your voicemail.
To date, over $104 million in prizes have been awarded to players across Ontario, while proceeds from every ticket sold support essential equipment at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, helping ensure more patients can access care closer to home.
July's draw is now open! Here's what's happening:
- $159,000 in total early bird prizes
- Bonus numbers are back on the $20 and $100 ticket packages
- A $59,000 draw on July 29th
