“You got to be kidding” and “oh my goodness” were the reactions from Linda Naef, after she was informed she won the Spruce Kings Show Home tonight. Naef who is coming off a serious illness in 2007 said she just had a feeling she would win this years home and is glad 2008 is off to a better start. The 57 year old retired Ministry of Forestry worker bought the ticket last week at Northern Hardware. Naef admitted she has only bought tickets every other year. Naef and her husband plan to sell their house in Miworth and move into their new $360,000 home in the Aberdeen Glen subdivision.
This is also a huge victory for the Spruce Kings hockey club as this would be the first time the house would sell all 6999 tickets. Spruce Kings will make a profit of approximately $250,000, which will assist with the team’s operating costs.
