CTBO –Round 9 Draw 20 ticket to be drawn TODAY – Debra Patenaude joined the
meeting to collect her $825 cheque as last week’s consolation winner. Debra also did us the
favour of pulling a ticket belonging to Lee Manych from the drum. As a result of this
envelope #41 was opened to reveal the 7 of spades netting Lee $852 as this week’s
consolation winner. This also means that the game will continue with the jackpot being
$25 069 for the Feb 10th draw.
