So Many Reasons To Buy 💚 💙


VANCOUVER, BC, Friday, January 27, 2023 — When you get your Choices Lottery tickets, you’re not only getting in to win millions in prizes. You’re also supporting BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, and helping the hospital find crucial answers for kids and their families.

BC Children’s Hospital is the only hospital of its kind in the province, tackling the most complex physical and mental health challenges facing children and youth today. Every step brings research teams closer to life-changing breakthroughs from the lab straight to kids’ bedsides – in BC and beyond.

“At BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, we know that small is mighty,” says Malcolm Berry, President and CEO of BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. “The sick and injured children who visit BC Children’s show us this every day. We also know that every research study, small or big, could have a huge impact on children and families across the province.

138,000 children visit the hospital for specialized pediatric services each year, and BC Children’s is the only hospital in the province solely dedicated to the care of children and youth, addressing both physical and mental health.

“This is why we count on the funds raised from every Choices Lottery ticket sold,” says Berry.

You might think your impact is small, but your support could be just what BC Children’s Hospital’s researchers need to push the next medical advancement over the finish line.

It’s a win-win: help fuel new medical breakthroughs and get in to win amazing prizes, including multi-million dollar home packages – or $2,300,000 cash.

There are over 3,000 total prizes up for grabs in this year’s lottery (worth over $3.4 million) and – new this year – each Grand Prize home package comes with gas & groceries for a year (with $25,000 in gift cards to Esso and Save-On-Foods).


Order early to beat the Bonus deadlines

If you get your Choices Lottery tickets today, you’ll beat the early deadlines and be entered in three Bonus draws (worth over $104,000 total), 51 Early Bird draws (worth over $300,000 total), as well as the Grand Prize draw and tons of other draws to win cars, travel, gift cards to coffee, gas, and groceries – or, of course, cash.

The Loyalty Bonus deadline is midnight, February 24, 2023!

And, if you top up your order with tickets for the 50/50 PLUS and Daily Cash PLUS, you’ll get in to win even more – including half of this year’s jackpot, which could top $2.4 million.

(Last year’s 50/50 PLUS winner took home $1,029,120. This year, it could be you!)

50/50 PLUS tickets start at just 2 for $15, and Daily Cash PLUS tickets start at just 2 for $25.
