It paid off for Kristen Riendeau to leave her conference call at work on Friday, and finally answer her phone that had been ringing almost non-stop.
The persistent caller was the Timmins and District Hospital Foundation, telling the Kirkland Lake woman she just won the August 50-50 draw. Her prize: $142,422..
Riendeau plans to use the money for an overdue honeymoon, and new appliances for her home.
