TREN PST Tra Sd Rv ems Sandy, Doug strike it rich Sandy and Doug Day (at right in photo) had a lot of good reaons for smiling last Thursday morning when they discovered their number came up In the Lotto 6/49 draw of the previous night. The Caesarea couple had all six numbers right and won a cool $581,672. Sandy bought the winning ticket at Barry's Variety in Port Perry. That's Barry at far left and Tammy Wolters who sold the lucky ticket. Actually, Sandy has been playing the same numbers in the Lotto 6/49 draw for Sandy and Doug Day beat the odds last week when their numbers came up in the Feb. 17 Lotto 6/49 draw. The Caesarea couple collected a total of $581,672.90 when they split the grand prize with two other ticket holders with the same winning number. Sandy, who works at Dominion Auto in Uxbridge and Doug who works at General Motors, were in a state of near shock as they had their ticket validated Thursday afternoon at Barry's Variety in Port Perry, where Sandy played the numbers of the draw the previous evening. Sandy told the Star she was checking her ticket numbers in the newspaper that morning and ed the numbers drawn by com- puter the previous night. "They're all there,"' she shouted. "They're all there," she shouted. "They're all there." She immediately called Barry at the Variety Store to let him know she'd be arriving shortly to have the winning ticket validated. And then she started phoning other members of the family to let them in on the good news. She said later she had been playing the same Lotto 6/49 numbers in the twice weekly draw for several years, but the biggest "payday" previously had been about $100 (for matching four of six numbers). The six jack-pot numbers were 5-14-23-27-36-37, and Sandy said the past few years. They have no specific plans for the money other than to put it in the bank.

Svante Lind, a naturalized Ca- nadian citizen, and the owner of Scan Farms and Sweda Farms near Blackstock, has appealed to Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn as the final hope in blocking ex- tradition to his native Sweden. Mr. Lind has been in the Don Jail since December 17, his once thriving egg production business has suffered, his family life is a shambles, his health is declining, and he owes a large amount in le- gal fees fighting the extradition that was started by the Swedish government after he and his fami- ly had moved to Canada. In a phone interview from the jail Monday morning, Mr. Lind told the Star he "feels terrible," pa. 14 and is hoping the Minister will intervene on his behalf so he can get on with his life in Canada. David Bond, an employee of Mr.Lind's at the egg farm east of Blackstock has organized a peti- tion asking that Mr. Lind not be extradited to Sweden. Copies of the petition are in the Country Store in Blackstock. Federal MP Allan Lawrence has written a let- ter on his behalf as has former Justice Minister John Crosbie, who is familair with this lengthy and complicated case. Similar letters of support have been sent from the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Egg Producers organization in this province. Mr. Lind's fight against extra- diction has also been taken up by well known broadcaster Peter Tru- man, who in a Feb. 2 broadcast on Global TV said Mr. Lind has alrcady "paid an awful price in Spry at 80 years old, Reg turns 20 I loss of liberty, money and mis- ery." Mr. Lind's problems with the Swedish authorities go back more than a decade to 1976 when he was first arrested but not charged on a suspicion of bankrupcy fraud against a former business partner. The amount of money involved in this alleged fraud- was between $15 and $40,000. He was rclcased four days later with no charges against him. Ironically, the following year, 1977, he was given a clearance certificate by Swedish police, con- firming that there were no charges or convictions against him. He applied to come to Canada perma- nently. Shortly after his arrival in Canada, Swedish authoritics charged him with the fraud and be- gan extradition proceedings.
