Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation $100,000 Cash Lottery is 21 years old and we are celebrating.
The lottery will reflect a 21 theme in most draws.
The first draws will take place on Sept. 21, with a draw for a ticket for $1,000 every 21 minutes for a total of $21,000. The first deadline will be on Sept. 11.
The $100,000 Lottery remains the most successful revenue generating fundraising event of the foundation. Proceeds from the 2015 Lottery have been committed to the replacement of an automated pill packager for the BUH pharmacy. Every day, pharmacists and technicians at BUH prepare and dispense medicine to more than 200 patients in acute care and community programs within the Battlefords. It is vital to replace this outdated and essential piece of equipment as soon as possible to ensure the pharmacists can continue safe and efficient dispensing of medicine.
“Your ticket purchases have a significant impact in this community. The funds raised stay in the Battlefords to help people in the Battlefords and surrounding communities,” said Roger Anderson, BUH Foundation’s board of directors chair.
“We thank you for this support and are very grateful for the commitment the Battlefords businesses and individuals have to local health care.”
Tickets are $50 each, three for $125 and, new this year, five tickets for $200 (only100 sets of these available). In total there are only 12,500 tickets available. They can be purchased at BUH Foundation’s office, BUH Foundation’s Gratefully Yours Food and 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 (1-888-WIN 4BUH) or online at www.buhfoundation.com.
The 50/50 add-ons are available at one for $10 or three for $25 and can be purchased only in conjunction with the $100,000 Cash Lottery. To celebrate the 21st anniversary the guaranteed minimum payout for the $100,000 Cash Lottery 50/50 Add-On is $21,000.
