Tuesday is the first day to cash in in the Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation Monthly Lottery.
Volunteers will begin selling tickets at BUH main lobby that day.
The lottery will remain with the same format that has been successful for the foundation: tickets will remain at $104 each, with only 1,200 being sold. There will be a total of 158 draws, awarding $50,000 in cash prizes over a period of 12 months.
The monthly lottery proceeds have been allocated towards the purchase of specialized monitoring systems for the Women's Health and Birthing Centre. These monitors support comprehensive care for both mother and baby, potentially from the beginning of pregnancy to after the birth of the baby. They will ensure a complete and all-embracing coverage across the obstetrical care continuum, combining surveillance and immediate notification of potential vulnerabilityp
In order to be eligible for the $1,000 previous Purchaser draw being made Wednesday, April 4 qualifying ticket buyers must purchase their tickets by 5 p.m. Friday, March 30. Early bird ticket purchasers who buy their tickets prior to 5 p.m. Friday, April 13 will be eligible for an additional chance at $1,000 to be drawn Wednesday, April 18.
Following these two preliminary draws, monthly draws will take place on the last Wednesday of every month, beginning April 25 with the exception of December, which will be drawn Dec. 19. Thirteen prizes totalling $4,000 will be awarded every month, including the top prize of $1,000, second prize of $600, third prize of $400 and 10 additional prizes of $200 each.
