A Steinbach resident is celebrating a major windfall after winning more than $39,000 through One Great Lottery — and Southeast Helping Hands (SEHH).

The lottery

One Great Lottery brings together around 50 non-profit organizations from across the region.

When purchasing a ticket, players can choose “all,” meaning the proceeds are split among all participating charities, or they can select a specific organization.

Lending a helping hand

Ken Dyck, operations manager of SEHH, says it feels good to hand over the grand prize.

Dyck explains SEHH has handed out several smaller cheques in recent years through the lottery — six or seven by his count — but this is the first time a grand prize has landed locally.

He notes the longstanding relationship between him and the winner, Barry Rempel.
