According to Crystal Ediger, she and her husband David never win anything – that was until now. Crystal and David Ediger are the lucky winners of $12,855.00 from the Manitoba Ag Days 50/50 draw.

When David received the call from Kristin Phillips, Manitoba Ag Days General Manager, he wasn’t even thinking about the draw, that is until she shared the happy news with him. The couple was shocked, they couldn’t believe that their ticket had been drawn because “they never win anything.”

They don’t have any immediate plans for their newfound wealth, but as Crystal said, “there is always something that it can be spent on.”

With Manitoba Ag Days being cancelled again, there was no way of knowing whether the 50/50 draw would be as well supported as in previous years – fortunately, there was no reason to worry!

A final total of $25,710.00 was raised with $12,855.00 being paid to the lucky draw winner and the other half going into the Ag Days Gives Back Fund.
