A group of local hockey fans won big last week at the Winnipeg Jets game.

Dusty Fehr was one of four who held the winning 50/50 ticket at Thursday's 5-0 win over the Nashville Predators. Together, the four split the $39,020 pot four ways. "We threw in $80 and this is what we won."

Fehr says the moment they realized they might've won was surreal. They each doubled checked the numbers before reality sunk in.

After confirming the win Fehr says they swapped stories of kickstarting home renovations, "it's a nice little boost, that's for sure."
