Cash lottery could turn dreams into reality for potential winner and BUH Foundation

Aug 14, 2023 | 1:39 PM

The largest capital campaign taken on by the Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation is ramping up with the launch of its $100,000 Cash Lottery.

In a media release the foundation said: “With 36 draws and over $175,000 in cash prizes to be won, along with a record breaking 50/50 with a minimum prize guarantee of $25,000, this lottery offers an exciting chance to turn dreams into reality.”

Participating in the lottery also means individuals can make a positive impact on local health care since proceeds will go towards a fundraising goal of $916,000 which will be used to buy Pyxis MedStations for every department in need at the hospital including the emergency department, medical and surgical wards and palliative care. The Pyxis MedStations are automated medication-dispensing units that help improve efficiency and reduce the risk of medication errors. The technology also frees up staff to spend more time at the bedside.

“We are thrilled to kick off our $100,000 lottery and provide our valued donors and community members with a chance to win big,” said Leanne Ducommun, executive director of BUH Foundation.

This year’s lottery includes additional draws, as well as the enhanced value savings of a ‘Super Pack’ which also increases your odds of winning. In addition to the grand prize, there will be several secondary cash prizes available including a $10,000 ‘Previous Purchaser’ draw.

Tickets are one for $60, three for $140 and the Super Pack of five tickets and 10 50/50 tickets can be purchased for $300.
