While Canada is still hurting from the heartbreak of an extra innings Game 7 Blue Jays loss to L.A. in a riveting World Series, one Oshawa resident has hit it out of the park.
The Jays Care Foundation announced the winner of the biggest 50/50 jackpot in baseball history at on Monday.
Aric, from Oshawa, won the life-changing jackpot of over $25 million.
Jays legend Joe Carter shared the news with him via phone call today. But for now, that’s all we know, as Aric declined media interviews.
The precise total take home prize was $25,010,057, with an unofficial winning number of 8678-144-66.
According to the Jays Care Foundation, the other half of all proceeds go directly to Jays Care programming in communities across Ontario and here in Nova Scotia.
