“I haven’t really bought any kind of lottery ticket in a long time, and I just thought, ‘Hey you know what, I think it’s time to start again.’ I scrolled across the Roughrider & Children’s Hospital Foundations Lottery page and thought this would be appropriate, and being in the health care field this is something I felt I needed to support, so that’s what I did!” said Jason Zawerucka, $1 million winner of the Roughrider & Children’s Hospital Foundations Lottery.
