A 19-year-old Winnipeg Blue Bomber fan is busy celebrating a huge win. Tyler Jackson won the 50/50 jackpot in last Thursday’s game. He won $199,673 against the Edmonton Eskimos at Investors Group Field.

Jackson joined Shadoe Davis on 680 CJOB Tuesday morning. He and his friend pooled their cash to purchase a 50/50 ticket during a previous game. However, this time his friend didn’t wish to play. Jackson said, “I decided to get one right at the end of the third quarter.”

Jackson spent $25 for 11 tickets. Moreover, when the winning numbers were read, it took Jackson a while to realize he had won. He held the winning ticket reading E-309370. Jackson said, “I was looking up and down for a good couple minutes before I realized that was the number.”

On the other hand, as for his friend, he doesn’t want any money. However, Jackson feels kind of bad not giving him anything. So, he wishes to take him to another Bomber game or buy him a 50/50 ticket or something.

Above all, Jackson plans to fix up his truck and save for a house from the windfall.
