TBRHSF 50/50 Lottery Scam

December 29, 2025

The Thunder Bay Police Service is advising the public that it has received multiple reports of scam calls related to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation’s (TBRHSF) monthly 50/50 draw.
 
Residents have reported receiving phone calls from individuals claiming to represent the TBRHSF.
 
Callers are telling people they are the 50/50 winner but must pay a fee to collect their prize.
 
For the TBRHSF 50/50 draw, the only purchase required is the ticket itself.
 
You will never be asked to pay a fee to access your winnings.
 
Anyone who receives a suspicious call is encouraged to hang up and report the incident.
