“What a wonderful surprise!” exclaimed Sharon Anderson when she was informed that one of the lottery tickets she, her daughter Kerry and friend Clay, had purchased had been pulled for the Previous Purchaser Draw for $10,000.00 on Wednesday October 3^rd.  “We believe in supporting local health care in The Battlefords and have been buying these tickets for years to help the Foundation, never expecting to win,” noted Sharon, then adding, “but I’m sure happy someone picked our ticket!” That someone was Pat Gotto, long time volunteer and supporter of BUH Foundation and the $100,000 Cash Lottery, and part of the cheque presentation team today.

The new feature to the Lottery, the 50/50 Enhancement, available with your Lottery ticket, is also proving very successful.  As of October 4 the winning amount is over $43,000 and this amount will only climb as we are only 82% sold out.

Tickets are the same as in previous years at $40.00 each or three for $100.00, with only 14,000 available.  They can be purchased at BUH Foundation’s Office, BUH Foundation’s Canteen/Gift Shop, and in the main lobby of BUH.  Tickets can also be purchased by calling (306) 446 6652 or toll-free 1 888 946 4284
