After weeks of selling tickets, a winner was drawn Wednesday, December 23 for the first annual Imagine Mental Health Matters Christmas raffle.

Christmas is an especially difficult time for people suffering from depression, says Mona Stott, who was on hand with 4 other members of the Imagine board—John Falk, Peter Braun, Bob Davey, and Deryk Loeppky—to draw the winning entry.

Immediately after drawing the winning ticket, John Falk phoned the winner, Melanie Bergen, to deliver the good news.

“I never win anything,” Bergen said, still trying to grasp what had happened. “Like, ever.”

The prizes, valued at $3,000, included Winnipeg Jets tickets, Jets gear, a watch, a swivel recliner, and a $500 travel voucher.

Raffle tickets were sold by the Niverville Credit Union and Niverville Bigway, and the prizes were donated by Wes-Man Mechanical, Ixtapa Travel, Mokada Jewelery, Wiens Furniture, and Algonquin Travel.
