$1000 jackpot brings smiles to lucky winner 'S An Oshawa woman who "has never won anything' picked up a DAE cheque for $1000 last Thursday night, three weeks after her ticket was pulled from the drum in the Port Perry Fair's cash draw. Yolanda Provenzano was all smiles as fair Board chairman Stewart Diceman presented her with the cheque for one thousand bucks. "I'm not a gambler, but when people offer tickets to me, I usually buy one. This is the first time I have ever won anything," she said. Ironically, Mrs. Provenzano wasn't at the Port Perry Fair over Labour Weekend when the draw was made. In fact, she wasn't even in the country. She had left for a vacation in her native Italy late in July, and did not return to Canada until September 11. Her family in Oshawa was notified of the windfall right after the Labour Day draw, and even though she had phoned home from Ita- ly to keep in touch, her two sons decided not to let their mother know she was $1000 richer. They wanted to keep the news as a home-coming surprise. Mrs. Provenzano bought the ticket at the Hillsdale Manor Nurs- ing Home in Oshawa where she works as a housekeeper. Does she have any immediate plans for the money? Not really, she said, but added that her two sons will probably help her spend it in some way.
