The first big winner for East Wellington Community Service’s “Fill up your tank” 12 Month Raffle has been drawn.
Peggy Wilson is January’s recipient of $250 in free groceries and $250 in free gas.
There are 11 more chances to win the $500 prizes and tickets are still available. The contest will continue throughout the year, with another draw on the third Friday of every month. The sooner you buy a ticket the more chances you have to win. After finding out she was the first winner, Peggy said she would be going back to the same volunteer who sold her the winning ticket to buy another for the rest of the draws.
Tickets are $20 each and available at EWCS New to You stores in Erin, Rockwood and Hillsburgh, as well as at ValueMart-Erin, Village Green, Credit River Motors and What’s Cooking in Erin and the Hillsburgh Foodland. For information call EWCS at 519-833-9696.
Proceeds from the raffle go to supporting EWCS’s programs in the community.
