“It’s pretty exciting. It’s cool to share it and win with friends and family.”

Family and good friends are the heart and soul of curling and the winners of Saturday’s draw are fortunate enough to be both. Congratulations to Alicia Chapotelle, Fran Chapotelle, Deanna Parsons, Linette Priebe, and Sarah Mazoleski for winning $9,770 in Curling Alberta’s 50/50 raffle.

Originally from Killam, Alicia has always loved curling. Her grandfather curled, her mom curls, and she has watched it all her life. Now living in Edmonton, she plays in a mixed league out of the Sherwood Park Curling Club. Along with her teammate Sarah, her mom, Fran, and sisters Linette and Deanna, they pitched in to buy tickets for the 50/50 every day during the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

“We each took turns buying two games worth,” said Alicia. “Then we carried it on for the Brier because honestly, my parents typically travel to watch curling all the time. If it were possible for fans to be there in person, we would probably have all gone to it and bought 50/50’s there, so we figured we may as well support it.”

Alicia happened to be at her parents when she when she discovered they won. After having her mom double check the numbers, they shared the exciting news with Sarah and her sisters. “Both Linette and Deanna were skiing today so I called them while they were on the hill,” said Alicia. “It was pretty fun and it’s cool to share it and win with friends and family.”

As for what to do with their big cash prize, Alicia mentioned that they are hoping to put the money towards all of them going somewhere together when life gets back to normal. She had one other suggestion how the funds could be used. “Maybe the other four will use their winnings to get a curling rock tattoo to match mine!”

While this may be the first time Alicia and company have won a 50/50 draw, it may not be the last. The group plans to continue buying tickets throughout this next series of Curling’s Capital events. “My one sister whose turn it is asked if we should keep buying,” laughed Alicia. “And we were all like, ‘obviously!’”

Thank you, Alicia, Fran, Linette, Deanna, and Sarah, as well as the thousands of curling fans for supporting the 50/50 initiative during the Curling’s Capital Series of Events. We are grateful for your ongoing support to create a lasting legacy for our sport and curling communities across Alberta.

Tickets for the 50/50 draw are available for purchase each day until March 14th, from 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM MST and can be purchased here. (LL#570518)
