In what turned out to be a house warming bonus, Elaine and Gerald Leforte claimed the early bird prize in the 2018 Beautiful Plains Medical Clinic Lottery. Lefortes are from Swan River but their $10,000 prize will come in nicely as they have moved to a house in Souris. Pictured above in front of the Beautiful Plains Medical Clinic, Elaine and Gerald (right) received their cheque from lottery chair Mary Ellen Clark.  The Lottery is still on going and the final deadline to buy tickets is June 2 at 9:00 p.m.
