“Your generous support has had an incredible impact on the experience at our partner hospitals throughout the province,” McIntyre Royston said.
A man from Toronto won over $640,000 or 60 per cent of the payout.
A woman from Guelph is one of two people who will receive a payout of more than $100,000 of the earnings. Another resident in the Royal City will take home just over $20,000.
The initiative is in support of hospital health care with 51 hospital partners across Ontario, including Guelph General.
