Another record-breaking week for Food Depot Alimentaire’s 50/50 Gold Rush draw.
The jackpot climbed to a record $915,820 by the time the draw was made Wednesday afternoon.
Mario Leger, who was the lucky winner, is taking home half of the jackpot — a total of $457,910.
It is the second time in as many weeks that the Gold Rush jackpot has hit a record amount.
Tammy Todd walked away with $450,745 during the Aug. 9 draw. The jackpot that week reached $901,490.
The Food Depot Alimentaire 50/50 draw started around 10 years ago and is a critical fundraiser for the organization.
It raises money for food banks, soup kitchens, crisis centres and school nutrition programs across New Brunswick.
