'You're kidding,' said Lynn, when Anthony Keating, the president of the HSN Foundation called to tell him about his win. 'You just gave me a head rush there – I almost passed out.' Though the call started with Lynn describing himself as cranky, but joy could be heard in his voice after Keating told him how much he had won. 'My, my, my,' he said with a sigh. 'I am kind of baffled here.' Lynn was definitely in shock. 'It blows my mind, though,' he said. 'I'm just waiting to wake up and realize that this is a dream.' Lynn told Keating that he buys $100 worth of tickets for the 50/50 every month and that he did not think his odds of winning were very good. 'HSN saved my life a couple of times so it's not hard for me to put a few bucks every month to a good cause,' he said in a news release. When asked what he was going to spend the money on, Lynn said his youngest daughter had recently bought a house and he intends to pay it off. 'I'm looking forward to spoiling the grandkids a little and maybe spoiling myself a bit, but this kind of money can make a big difference for my family down the road, too,' he said. 'It's exciting to think about, even if I still think I'm dreaming.' When accepting the check from the HSN Foundation, Lynn said he thought he was going to cry. 'This December has been an incredible month,' said Keating. 'We just gave somebody $1,169,522 – But it has also been a great 2023. You've made a big difference in the health care of people living in northeastern Ontario.' Since its inception, the HSN Foundation's 50/50 draw has given away more than $23 Million to winners all over Ontario. Funds raised will make a difference in the lives of those living with cancer, how the tiniest patients receive specialized pediatric care and ensuring equipment is in place when needed to provide quality patient care. 'Because of you, we are able to invest in state-of-the-art equipment, invest in more research and plan for future capital development,' said Keating.
