ESTEVAN - A few Saskatchewan residents had extra reasons to celebrate on New Year's Eve, thanks to the annual truck raffle organized by the Estevan branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.
Steven Cox of Qu'Appelle had his name drawn as the grand prize winner in the legion's seventh annual truck raffle. Cox will have the choice of taking home a 2023 Ford F150 XLT from Senchuk Ford or $50,000 cash.
Sean Beaulieu of Estevan won the second-place prize of $10,000, and Steven Herbert of Mortlach was the winner of $5,000 for third. The winners' names were drawn during the legion's New Year's Eve party on Sunday night, with Kelly J. Gill and the Hired Guns providing the entertainment.
Several early-bird prizes were drawn in October.
All 1,500 tickets for this year's truck raffle were sold. The legion will hold another truck raffle in 2024.
