Melanie MacDonald of Port Hood earned a grand prize of $187,984 from the Glace Bay Minor Hockey Association’s 50/50 Christmas Draw

After association office manager Tracey Hanrahan left a voicemail message about the grand prize win, MacDonald returned the call several minutes later.

“Oh my God, I can’t believe this. I was just putting up my Christmas lights (when you called),” a very delighted MacDonald told Hanrahan through her smartphone speaker.

“I feel incredible. This was a complete and total shock. Oh my gosh … it definitely hasn’t quite sunk in yet.”
