Wins $50,000 in lottery Happy Birthday Dad Finding the right birthday gift for her father has always been a bit of a problem for Marilyn Wood. But she made a great choice recently, when she bought a ticket for the June 29 Provincial Lottery draw. She presented the ticket to her father, John Stolaryk of Oshawa as a birthday gift, and when Mr. Stolaryk checked the number the next day, he thought he had won $10. A closer examination revealed he had in fact won $50,000, and that sure put a birthday smile on the face of Marilyn's father. Marilyn works for the Port Perry Star and bought the lucky ticket at the Star office on Queen Street. Mr. and Mrs. John Stolaryk will be off to Toronto some time this week to claim their prize. We'll bet we know what Marilyn will be buying her parents for Christmas.
