The mystery winner of a massive Grey Cup 50/50 prize has revealed himself.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced Tuesday that Charles Richot bought the winning ticket, worth $178,748.

After the prize remained unclaimed more than a week after the game, the team put out a call asking the winner to come forward.

Money from the sales of 50/50 tickets goes towards supporting amateur football and other community programming.
