Hurry! Ticket Sales Deadline Friday for the Calgary Stampede Lottery

Calgary, Alberta, June 20, 2017 — The Calgary Stampede Lotteries are offering something different this year to appeal to out of town buyers and regular lottery players.  For $150, the new “4X” package removes the bonus gate passes and instead offers 32 tickets on the Kinsmen Truck Packages and 64 tickets on the Rotary Dream Home.  It’s 33% more chances to win over $1.5 million prizes compared the best package offered last year.

For the first time, you also won’t have to be at the Stampede to still have a chance to take home a Stampede prize. This new 4X ticket package is available online right through to the middle of Stampede — July 12, unless sold out earlier.  Quantities are limited.

Bigger SPLIT’EM 50 Jackpot. The Stampede Lotteries carried over its online 50/50 jackpot into the 10-day Stampede event last year to offer a supersized jackpot.  They ended up giving away a whopping $739,642.5o — the biggest cash prize ever awarded by the lottery.  The cumulative SPLIT’EM 50 is back for a second year, this time with an even bigger $2.5 million maximum jackpot.  Tickets are just 1 for $10, 5 for $25, or 20 for $50.

Other packages almost sold out. High demand for the lower-priced Single (only $69 this year) and Double (saves $28) packages means these choices are nearly sold out. Buy now if you’ve been thinking about one of these popular options.

FINAL deadline for all online Ticket Packages sales — except the 4X — and for online sales of the SPLIT’EM 50 is this Friday, June 23rd at 11 p.m.

Visit and view the dream home on the Calgary Stampede Lotteries’ website. The Grand Prize is a beautiful Rotary Dream Home valued at $938,375, nestled in the community of Carrington, in Calgary, Alberta. This home is the lottery’s “largest, most valuable dream home offered.” With over 3,250 square feet of living space to play in, you’ll be swimming in 4 bedrooms, and for the first time ever, a finished basement.   Check out the online tour!

Make This Your Best Summer Ever! Visit the Stampede Lotteries online or call 1.888.568.8616 to buy your ticket package today!

Your purchase proceeds will directly help support charities through the funding of the Rotary Club of Calgary South, and the Kinsmen Club of Calgary.
