Riverside 50/50 - Still Time to Fall in Love with a Jackpot Win

February 23, 2026

Riverside Health Care is pleased to announce that Pam Drouin of Fort Frances is the winner of the February 50/50 Early Bird Prize, taking home $1,000 in our monthly 50/50 fundraising draw.

Pam’s early win comes as the Riverside 50/50 continues to build momentum across the Rainy River District. Eight Early Bird winners later, the monthly raffle has now raised over $100,000, with an equal amount awarded in winnings back to participants.

Proceeds from Riverside’s 50/50 directly support the purchase of new state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment for La Verendrye General Hospital and Rainy River Health Centre through the Lights, Camera, DIAGNOSIS! campaign, including the district’s first MRI. With each monthly draw, Riverside moves closer to its fundraising goal, helping bring faster diagnoses and improved care to patients across the region.

While Valentine’s Day may be behind us, there’s still time this February to show some love for local health care, and maybe even leave someone loving a jackpot win of their own.

Tickets for the February draw can be purchased online at www.rhc5050.com, by stopping in at the La Verendrye General Hospital Administration Office Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., by calling 807-274-6635, or by visiting the in-person ticket table every Thursday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. inside the Main Entrance of La Verendrye General Hospital off Front Street.

As the jackpot continues to grow, it’s a reminder that caring for one another goes beyond the day-to-day, and that even small acts of community support can make a lasting impact for patients and families right here at home.
