You might be able to thank your lucky STARS sooner rather than later with the deadline to make that happen just hours away.
Tickets are only on sale in Alberta for the 31st annual STARS lottery until 11:59 p.m. tonight (March 21).
The lottery plays an essential role in the organization’s annual fundraising efforts, typically raising enough money to fund one of STARS’ three bases in Alberta for a full year.
“When fighting for the lives of our patients, every second counts, so does every dollar,” said STARS’ president and chief executive officer Katherine Emberly,
“The funds raised through the lottery go directly to our 24/7 daily operations so we can continue to deliver critical care wherever it’s needed,” said Emberly.
“On behalf of everyone at STARS, thank you to every person who has purchased a lottery ticket, your support makes it possible for us to save lives, every day.”
With over 2,100 prizes valued at over $4.8 million, there are more ways to win than ever before, all of which support STARS in their mission to provide critical care, anywhere.
Ticket holders have the chance to win one of three stunning grand prize homes located in Calgary, Edmonton or Lethbridge, in addition to dream vacations, luxury vehicles and much more.
With Lucky STARS 50/50 tickets, supporters have the chance to walk away with half of a jackpot that’s now more than $4.2 million cash.
For the first time this year, STARS is offering more ways to win with the million STARS daily cash, with 40 prizes of $25,000 each — totalling $1 million.
Tickets can be purchased by visiting starslottery.ca or calling 1-855-STARS-68 (782-7768). Final draws take place on March 28.
