The Fort William Rotary had a surprise update about the 38th house lottery winner.
It turns out it’s house lottery winners.
The Rotary had previously announced Jason Matyczuk as the winner, but it turns out that his ticket was purchased by a group.
Six friends from work Domenico Giancola, Colin Daniels, Darcy Herman, Jamie Appelt, Chris Valente and Eric Frier will be joining the previously announced winner as new homeowners.
This year’s house lottery saw a record number of tickets sold and the proceeds will be awarded to local charities that are being announced later this summer.
“This project is just one of many where Rotarians volunteer their time in service of others,” said House Lottery Chair, Cindy Levanto. “Making the call to Jason was very emotional for me as it represented the end of a year of hard work and dedication of our club to ensure the draw was successful. And with that, we can provide funds for many charities in our community that, in the end, benefit us all.”
The rotary is now focused on next year’s 39th House Lottery with work already underway.
