In addition to the top prizes, there are also over $2.3 million in other prizes to win, including a trip to Bali, or an Audi A3 plus a European adventure. The 50/50 add-on is also back for another year.
Proceeds from the lottery will go to support health care in Regina’s hospitals, as well has enhance medical programs, such as paediatrics, cardiac care, trauma care, medical imaging, and cancer care.
The foundation says the success of their lotteries over the decade shows how committed the people of southern Saskatchewan are to supporting their own healthcare.
Some of the money from this lottery will purchase a portable EEG monitor for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Regina General Hospital.
“When we have children come into the unit that have had a disruption in the amount of oxygen they’ve got, then we’ll often sedate them, put them to sleep, medical coma, and this machine lets us know if they’re seizing. It’s the only way to tell,” said Tom Sorensen, director of maternal and children’s programs.
Dino Sophocleuous, president and CEO of the HRF, said paediatrics is their biggest priority.
“In this foundation to date, we have invested over $35 million dollars in paediatrics in Regina, in support of children’s health care in Southern Saskatchewan. This is critically important, because every year, our hospitals treat over 10,000 children.”
The grand prize showhome is open to the public on Thursday and Friday evenings from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on weekends from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m.
