Ignace Resident Wins $2.1 Million in November Thunder Bay 50/50
Published Friday, November 28, 2025
Dennis Wilson of Ignace with wife Dorothy and dog Sheba wins $2,130,175 in the November Thunder Bay 50/50.
The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation is thrilled to announce its fourth consecutive multi-millionaire. Ignace's Dennis Wilson takes home an incredible $2,130,175 as the November 50/50 grand prize winner.
While driving to Dryden for some shopping, Wilson received the Foundation's famous 11:00 a.m. call from CEO Glenn Craig. When Craig asked, “Do you know who's calling?” Wilson responded, “You're kidding.”
Wilson has been playing the 50/50 since the very beginning. When asked if he ever thought he was going to win, he said, “I always thought it was a win-win situation when you buy the ticket and hopefully you didn't have to use the other part by going to the hospital.”
When asked what he plans to do with the $2.1 million, Wilson said paying off bills and helping their young lad finish off his cabin to start.
