I've been telling my friends the good news is that I won (about) $1.4 million in the lottery draw. The bad news is that I have to split it with (about 800) other people," the Port Perry resident- told the Star last week in the wake of the $14.2 million Lotto 49 draw on March 23. Jerry came within a whisker (a hiccop he says) of sharing in the grand prize as he had five of the six correct numbers.

Guarantee TIRES (All Balanced & Installed) the one number he missed, he missed by just one digit. Jerry had a seven instead of an eight. The fun for Jerry began the night of the draw when Jerry caught a flash of the winning number on television. Something looked familiar about that win- ning number, and sure enough, when he sat down at the kitchen table to check his ticket, he nearly fell off the chair to discover he had five of the six numbers (but not the bonus number) Knowing that a lot of people had been throwing money at the draw for the $14 million jack-pot, Jerry figured his five out of six numbers might be worth a fair amount, but he had no idea how much. He started phoning ticket out- lets the next moming to find out how much he had won, and at one point a clerk incorrectly told him he had won $91,000. But that was for five correct numbers, plus the bonus number. When Jerry was finally able to determine his winnings, it was $1823, a far cry from the $14.2 million he would have shared with four others had he had an 8 instead of a seven. Jerry, who bought the ticket through a "Quick Pick" at a store in Toronto, managed to chuckle a bit about his brush with the grand prize. He was off to Toronto last Friday to pick up his cheque for $1823, and said he would use the money to buy new tires for the family car. Ironically, his horoscope that day said he would get financial help from an outside source. Not that he's turning his nose up at $1823, but as he said, "I was within one digit of the grand prize and I wind up getting four new tires on the car." Port Perry has been in the Lottery news fairly often in recent weeks. A lot of [peo le were buy- ing tickets on $14.2 million grand prize draw last week, and of course just a month ago, a Cae- sarea couple split the Lotto 6/49 grand prize and picked up a cheque for a cool $581,000. And, according to Lottery of- ficials, an un-claimed ticket worth $94,000 was purchased in Port Perry for the Feb. 6 draw. A lot of people in town are wondering who bought the ticket and why he/she had not claimed the prize. As for Jerry Cochrane, he plans to keep buying a few tickets each draw, just for the fun of it. Daffodil Day kicks off cancer fundraising month (From page 11) year, $2.5 million dollars were spent in looking after 173,200 pa- tients and $400,000 was spent educating the public about cancer and promoting the benefits of ear- ly detection. Who Develops Cancer -- People of all ages from infants to the elderly can develop cancer with the risk increasing with age. It is estimated that some 96,400 Cana- dians will be diagnosed with cancer this year, bringing the total under medical care for cancer to approximately 300,000, of which at least half will be alive and well five years after treat- ment. One in every four deaths from all causes in Canada results from cancer. In 1988 more than half of the estimated new cases of cancer will be located in the lungs, a form of cancer that is largely preven- . table. Don't smoke cigarettes is an important step to maintaining good health. To-day more people with cancer are living normal lives; in the 1980's one of every two pa- tients under treatment will sur- vive at least five years, compared to one in five during the 1940's. This is the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Cancer Society, which could not exist without the participation and commitment of thousands ot volunteers, who give freely of their time to Public Education and Service to Patients programs, as well as Fundraising activities. 90 percent of the Socie- ty's income is allocated to Research, Education and Patient Services. Another very helpful service provided is a toll free province-wide cancer information (CIS) to commonly ask questions about cancer and its treatment from 9-5 daily, Monday to Friday. The toll free number is: 1-800-263-6750. In a few days, volunteer can- vassers will fan out through Scugog Township, calling from door to door in an effort to make the 1988 Campaign the most suc- cessful to date. We trust they will be received in the usual open and generous manner, characteristic of previous Scugog Township Campaigns. As a kick-off to the Campaign, Daffodil Day will be held Friday, April 8, when local girls will be out in force at prominent locations throughout Port Perry. It behooves all of us to become involved in the battle, 'We are Winning."
