The BC SPCA’s popular summer Lottery for animals in need is back for a limited time with the biggest 50/50 pot in the lottery’s history – up to $1,600,000!
“Animal lovers across the province have a chance to make their dreams come true, but don’t wait too long to buy a ticket,” says Alina Wilson, BC SPCA senior officer, digital giving. Wilson explains the summer 50/50 lottery has sold out early every year since it began and is expected to again this year. “With tickets starting at just $15 we hope that many animal lovers will have a chance to enter and potentially change their lives.”
Past 50/50 winners have come from across the province, including Kelowna, Ladysmith, Maple Ridge and more. “It’s such a joy to call someone who has reached out their hand to animals in need and tell them their kindness has come back to them in this incredible way,” says Wilson. “We are so grateful to the caring people who make the Lottery a success for the animals and look forward to drawing the lucky winner for this year’s lottery.”
Every caring ticket purchase helps provide critical support to the province’s most vulnerable animals. Last year the BC SPCA assisted more than 167,000 animals, through animal protection investigations, urgent medical care, pet food banks and more. “There’s nothing like that special moment when an animal – who may have endured hunger, pain, fear and more – experiences the love of their forever family for the first time. Our compassionate Lottery purchasers make that possible,” says Wilson.
Tickets for the lottery are $15 each, three for $40, or six for $60. The final sales deadline is midnight, September 26.
