Mark McEachen is $574,002.50 richer after the ace of spades was drawn in the “Catch the Ace” fundraiser for the Deep River and District Hospital Thursday night.
McEachen, who lives in Douglas, won the weekly prize plus the jackpot. He bought his ticket at the Bear’s Den earlier in the day.
The lottery began nearly a year ago and has raised around $780,000 for the hospital which will be used to buy X-ray and imaging equipment to replace aging equipment.
