Sylvie Bégin won $279,932 in the Timmins and District Hospital Foundation's monthly 50/50.

A Hearst hairdresser took home the latest Timmins and District Hospital Foundation (TADHF) 50/50 pot.

Sylvie Bégin won the $279,932 February grand prize. 

She was in disbelief when the foundation staff called with the good news.

"She didn’t believe it was true at first, then all we could hear on her end of the line was a tremendous amount of excitement and congratulatory screaming! She quickly ran home to get her tickets and confirm with her husband Raymond that she did in fact win! Then back to work to enjoy the rest of her day with an amazing story to tell to her clients," reads the TADHF announcement.

"Sylvie has been supporting our lottery since we started back in September and thinks it's a fantastic way to raise money for our district hospital. Her initial plans are to invest some of the money in her daughter's post-secondary education."

The February draw supported the cardiopulmonary department at the hospital.

Tickets are on sale for March draw that is supporting the sterilization processing department.

Tickets are only available online here
