The first winner of 2022 in Imperial Theatre's 50/50 draw won $74,570.
Recent retiree Linda Jackson won the January 50/50 jackpot.
The theatre said Jackson was in such disbelief about winning that it didn't sink in until she picked up her cheque.
The 50/50 fundraiser has allowed the theatre to complete capital projects that were planned prior to the pandemic.
Construction of a dedicated youth program space began in February. Other planned upgrades include an electrical upgrade focused on theatrical lighting, and replacing the main doors.
As of January 31, over $2 million in prizes have been given away through the fundraiser, read a media release from the theatre. February's jackpot is currently over $5,000.
Tickets for this month's 50/50 draw can be purchased online until February 27 at 11:59 p.m.
Tickets are 3 for $10, 40 for $20, and 200 for $40. The winning number will be drawn and announced over Facebook Live on February 28 at 10:00 a.m.
