Original Toronto Star caption: A week ago Henry Hudson thought he had won $10 in the weekly Wintario draw. He cashed in the ticket and got the $10. But yesterday he found out he had actually won $100;000. With a wipe of his brow; Henry accepted the big cheque. He and wife Hilda will now be able to add a few frills to their planned trip to England.
