Hogs raffle winner thrilled with payout members on the other end. By Mark Ribble “Okay, did my son put you up to this?”, LEAMINGTON — Maureen Nelson was just exiting the grocery store on Wednesday, she asked. Oswald and the committee assured her it August 4 when her cell phone rang. The friendly 78-year-old from Desbarats, was real.

Andy, but never imagined she’d win the big draw. Her interest in motorcycles goes back to the 1970s. She’s been a licensed motorcycle rider for about 43 years. Maureen met with the Hogs committee at Erie Shores Hospice last Tuesday evening to receive her cheque. She then met Oswald at the CIBC in Leamington on Wednesday morning to make the deposit. “It’s still hard to believe,” said Maureen. “This is well appreciated, more than you realize.” As for the future, Maureen plans to move out of the hamlet of Desbarats, just east of Sault Ste. Marie and head south to Leamington in the coming months. That plan makes her son — and the Hogs committee — very happy. Maureen — all smiles — couldn’t be happier herself. “You guys are amazing for all that you’ve done,” she said.”
