Everyone who enters one of the many contests online to win tickets to an NBA Finals game knows it's a long shot, but for one Kitchener woman that long shot paid off.
Andrea Santi posted a photo of her celebrating the Toronto Raptors' game one win at Bobby O'Brien's Jurassic Square and it was selected as the winner of Air Canada's Fan Flight Contest.
Now she and her boyfriend, who took the picture, will be flying out to San Francisco for an all expenses paid trip to catch her favorite team play in enemy territory.
It couldn't have gone to a much more deserving fan as Santi has been a basketball fan all her life.
“My dad got me and my whole family into it when we were all really young, I still play in a woman's league and ref games around the city. I was in shock when I got the email saying I'd won.”
She and her family also host the Luke Santi Junior Memorial Tournament in memory of her brother who passed away 12 years ago from a brain tumor.
Game 4 of the NBA Final goes Friday night, but Game 3 will be decided Wednesday evening.
