Fall in Love with a Jackpot Over $250,000!

KELOWNA, BC, Friday, February 13, 2026 — This Valentine’s Day, why not treat yourself and your community? The Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery jackpot is already over $250,000. One lucky winner will walk away with over six figures, while supporting local health and wellness initiatives across the BC Interior.

Since its debut last year, the Heart of BC 50/50 has already generated over $1.2 million in ticket sales. That means more than $600,000 of that has been directed towards projects that are building healthier communities throughout the region. These funds are helping to provide essential services and support wellness before people ever need to step through the doors of a hospital.

Previous lottery proceeds have supported programs like Sport for Life’s Physical Literacy, which helps kids stay active and teaches the importance of movement for overall health. Not just geared at sports, physical literary provides the tools to ensure that life-long movement is possible and encouraged. The most recent iteration of the Heart of BC Lottery provided vital funds for a new satellite Foundry clinic, which offers free and confidential mental health and wellness services for youth ages 12-24. The Heart of BC is working in continued partnership with the YMCA of Southern Interior BC and health foundations across the Interior Health Authority to ensure that every ticket sold makes a real impact where it is needed most.

By purchasing a Heart of BC 50/50 ticket, you’re not just in the running for the jackpot, you’re contributing to the health and well-being of your neighbours, funding vital services in your community, and supporting wellness for all. With the jackpot growing daily and a guaranteed six-figure win on the horizon (with a month still to go!), every ticket purchased helps build a stronger, healthier BC while giving you a shot at life-changing winnings.

This Valentine’s Day, spread the love for yourself and for your community.

The Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery is open for ticket sales until March 13, with the grand prize draw taking place on March 27. Purchase your tickets today: heartofbc.ca

Play the St. Paul's Foundation 50/50 raffle and win.

VANCOUVER, BC, February 13, 2026 — Now’s your chance to buy tickets for St. Paul’s Foundation’s 50/50 raffle! Your ticket purchase supports initiatives, programs, and equipment that directly enhance patient care at Providence Health Care and Providence Living, like an innovative treatment that can switch off pain before it even starts.

Freezing pain in its tracks.

If you’ve ever felt a sharp sting from a stubbed toe or post-surgery ache, you know how powerful pain can be.

At St. Paul’s Hospital, a technique called cryoneurolysis uses extreme cold to temporarily block acute pain signals. Thanks to new technology introduced by anesthesiologist Dr. Michael Jew, this once-cumbersome procedure is now portable and can be delivered right at the bedside.

Using a device about the size of a power drill, physicians use ultrasound to guide a tiny ice ball to the nerve, freezing pain in its tracks.

For patients like Julie Bard, who received cryoneurolysis with her ninth cardiac surgery, the difference was dramatic.

“I was more alert, sitting up sooner, and didn’t feel as much pain,” she says. “I didn’t need as much pain medication, and I wasn’t getting sick all the time from the side effects.”

Your raffle support is part of a bigger journey – one where patients find pain relief, embrace comfort, and step into healing with strength and hope. Get your tickets today!

Tickets are available for purchase until March 6, 2026. The winner will be drawn on March 10, 2026. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

3 for $10
20 for $25
120 for $50
300 for $75 (the greatest value and best chance to win)

You could be the lucky winner! Get your tickets today at spf5050.ca.

Remember the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win!

Your support could be the key to the next big breakthrough.

BC Children’s is the only hospital in the province devoted exclusively to children. As one of the world’s top-ranked pediatric hospitals, it leads the way in confronting many of the most pressing health challenges facing kids today—from cancer to heart disease and brain health.

They have a secret tool in this quest: an on-site Research Institute. Over 2,000 research professionals tirelessly work to understand the origins of illnesses, develop groundbreaking treatments and move closer to cures. As 70% of researchers are also health care professionals providing care in the hospital, life-changing discoveries can be brought from the laboratory bench straight to a child’s bedside faster and more efficiently.

Your support plays a pivotal role in accelerating the translation of these discoveries. And beyond propelling this work, your contribution also empowers researchers to dream even bigger. Thank you for shaping the future of children’s health care.
