One lucky fan went home with a large chunk of change during Saturday’s Mega 50/50 Jackpot during Community Heroes Weekend.

On Wednesday, the Prince George Cougars unveiled the lucky winner via Facebook.

Krystel McKinnon took home a cool $49,000, picking up her winnings with her husband and son.

The Cougars are on the road this weekend for a pair of games.

Tomorrow (Friday) they take on the Wenatchee Wild and then wrap up in Langley against the Vancouver Giants Sunday at 4pm.

PG is 3-7-0-1, last in the Western Conference.
