Cpl Bill MacDonald of 81 Airfield Engineering Flight can finally drop his personal motto, “If it wasn’t for bad luck, I’d have none.”
The carpenter was the lucky winner of an annual contest run by The Personal insurance company, and will receive $1,000 a week for a year.
“We run this as a national contest where, if you call us for a quote on your car or home, you get entered into the draw to win $1,000 a week for a year, tax-free,” says James Malcolm, Senior Manager Account Development for The Personal.
The family has no specific plans for the money, with the exception of paying a few bills, reducing their mortgage and a few frivolous luxuries. “I want a limo ride and a set of drums,” says Cpl MacDonald’s 10-year-old son William.
The Personal will be launching a new contest February 15 with the choice of a Sea-Doo with trailer or a Ski-Doo with trailer as the prize. More details to follow soon.
The home and auto group insurance from The Personal is an exclusive program available through CANEX for employees and retirees of DND, CF and NPP.
