Sophia Slaney of Conception Bay South has received quite the early Christmas gift. She bought the winning ticket for the VOCM Cares 50/50 draw which comes with a prize of over $120,000.

Slaney got the call on Your VOCM Mornings earlier today.

Slaney says she never thought about actually winning the prize when she bought her ticket because she has never won anything like it before, noting that she did it to support the work of the foundation.

When asked what she will do with her winnings, Slaney said she’ll be giving back.

She says she gives money to charity every January in memory of her brother, so this year they will be getting more from her.

Meanwhile, Alicia Whitten won the second prize of a one-year lease on a CRV Hybrid from Steele Honda, and Gordon Butt won the third prize of a shop-and-stay package worth $1,200 from the Avalon Mall and the Capital Hotel.
