By participating in the Foundation’s newest fundraising initiative, ticket buyers can win cash and prizes online while supporting the PRHC Foundation.

“We all want the best possible patient care for our loved ones, but government funding doesn’t cover all the hospital’s needs,” said Lesley Heighway, PRHC Foundation President and CEO. “That’s why the support of the community is so important. The proceeds from the new 50/50 Lottery will help fund the equipment and technology that form the foundation of patient care. They’ll help bring new lifesaving services to our region, and enable PRHC to attract the best doctors, nurses and staff to our hospital.”

The jackpot is over $7,000 and growing, with a bonus prize of a $2,500 Resorts of Ontario Gift Certificate (or a $2,000 cash bonus).

The grand prize winner will be announced on October 28, 2021. Two early bird draws will provide additional chances to win, with cash prizes awarded every hour from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 8 and 22.

Tickets are available online only.

Ticket options include 10 tickets for $10, 40 tickets for $20, 160 tickets for $40 or 400 tickets for $75. Ticket buyers must be 18 years of age or older and in the province of Ontario to play.
