David Rogers of Lashburn was very excited to learn he had won the Previous Purchaser Draw of $10,000 through BUH Foundation’s $100,000 Cash Lottery on Wednesday October 5. “I’ve been buying these tickets for years” exclaimed David, because I believe the funds go to an important cause and now I’m a winner! I think that supporting the Foundation ensures up to date quality medical equipment is always available for my family and friends at BUH and it means not having to drive to
The $100,000 Lottery is in its 17th year and has sold out for the past 13 years. “We always get a little concerned after the second draw because ticket sales decline. However, the Early Bird draw will be on Wednesday October 19 with the ticket sale cut off date will be 5 pm Friday October 14, 2011 and we are confident the community of The Battlefords and surrounding area will support local healthcare by purchasing the remaining lottery tickets,” stated Jerry Wintonyk, Chair of BUH Foundation’s Board of Directors, adding “the new 50/50 Add-On component this year has proved very successful and we are pleased with the results so far. I encourage everyone to purchase tickets as there is still $160,000 to be won!”
