BUH FOUNDATION MONTHLY LOTTERY TICKET SALES START TUESDAY
North Battleford, SK - February 10, 2016 – Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation Monthly Lottery tickets will be available starting Tuesday, February 16, 2016 at the BUH Foundation office.
Proceeds of the 2016-2017 Monthly Lottery have been allocated towards the purchase of a new automated pill packager for BUH’s Pharmacy Department. Every day pharmacists and technicians prepare and dispense medicine to over 200 patients in the acute care and community programs within The Battlefords.
There are a total of 158 draws over the next year. Tickets can be purchased for $110.00 each and there are only 1,300 tickets for sale. The Previous Purchaser draw for $1,000 will take place on Friday April 8, 2016 and in order to be eligible for this draw, qualifying ticket buyers (have purchased a ticket in one or more of the last three years) must have purchased their tickets by 5:00 pm Friday, April 1, 2016. Early Bird ticket purchasers who buy their tickets prior to 5:00 pm Friday, April 15, 2016 will be eligible for an additional chance at $1,000.00 to be drawn Friday, April 22, 2016. Following these two preliminary draws, monthly draws will take place each month, beginning April 29. Thirteen prizes totaling $4,000.00 will be awarded every month, including the top prize of $1,000.00, second prize of $600.00, third prize of $400.00 and ten additional prizes of $200.00 each.
The Foundation is hopeful that ticket buyers will also consider giving a donation to assist in the purchase of a specialized syringe pump for the Operating Room at BUH used during Caesarian Sections. Every year the OR performs approximately 180 Caesarian Sections and the addition of this piece of equipment is vital.
The Board of Directors and staff of BUH Foundation are grateful and thankful for all the past support shown for the Monthly Lottery, and wish all ticket purchasers of the 2016 Monthly Lottery the best of luck!
