VANCOUVER, BC, Friday, May 8, 2020 — Your Hometown Heroes Lottery ticket purchases support VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation and the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, providing life-changing funds for those who need it most. Every year, VGH performs more than 30,000 surgeries and attends to more than 600,000 patient visits. And at BC’s biggest hospital, the doctors, nurses, front line workers and health care heroes are working hard to save British Columbians every day.

“BC’s hometown heroes come to aid of people in life-threatening situations every day,” says Sebastian Sevallo, the lottery’s co-spokesperson. “Our health care workers and first responders are working tirelessly to help people throughout BC.

“When you need help, your heroes respond.”

Every year, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales in the Hometown Heroes Lottery are allocated to the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burns, Trauma and High Acuity Unit (BTHAU) at Vancouver General Hospital. Lottery ticket purchasers have been long-term supporters of this important unit, providing for equipment and patient care needs.

As the hospital transitioned to create dedicated COVID-19 units, the BTHAU was a prime space to utilize due to access to the ICU and strong infection control mechanisms. For this reason, it has been converted into a dedicated COVID-19 patient unit.

“During these extraordinary times, your Heroes Lottery ticket purchase makes an even greater impact,” says Karen Khunkhun, the lottery’s co-spokesperson.

“Get your Heroes Lottery tickets now, and you could win 1 of 9 amazing Grand Prize options.”

This year’s prize homes are located all over beautiful British Columbia in some of the province’s – and the country’s – most desirable places to live, and some wonderful communities: choose a 5,766 square-foot, 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom home in White Rock, a luxurious build from Marquis Homes; take a 4,977 square-foot Palermo home atop Abbotsford’s Eagle Mountain; live an Okanagan dream in Kelowna’s Kestrel Ridge, or by the lake in Penticton; get cozy on Vancouver Island with a golf resort home at Courtenay’s Crown Isle, or an amazing oceanview home at SookePoint; choose a two-home Grand Prize with the best of both worlds in Cultus Lake and White Rock; or choose our most popular home prize on the doorstep of downtown, with a sub-penthouse condo at Vancouver’s CENTRAL, across the street from Science World and False Creek.

This year’s largest Grand Prize home package is worth over $2.7 million. Or take $2.1 million tax-free cash and become a multi-millionaire in an instant!

Tickets start at just 3 for $75. This could be the biggest win of your life…

VANCOUVER, BC, Friday, April 24, 2020 – Tickets are now on sale for the 2020 Hometown Heroes Lottery and, now more than ever, our health care heroes deserve our support.

Every ticket changes a life. All lottery proceeds go directly to VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, raising funds for the most urgent hospital needs and first responder resilience programs.

“In recent weeks, our front line health care staff have devoted themselves to preparing to care for COVID-19 patients,” says Angela Chapman, President and CEO of VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation. “They are also ensuring that people can continue to access care to meet their urgent medical needs.”

The doctors, nurses, and workers at VGH perform more than 30,000 surgeries and attends to more than 600,000 patient visits every year, for British Columbians all across our beautiful province.

“For years, lottery funds have helped ensure that medical teams in B.C. have the tools and equipment they need to save lives. On behalf of the Foundation, I’d like to thank everyone who supports the Hometown Heroes Lottery, allowing our health care heroes to be here for us.”

Ticket purchases also go to the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund and programs for burn survivors: “Your support of the Hometown Heroes Lottery has never been more important,” says Sheila Kern, the Burn Fund’s Executive Director. “Our fire fighter hometown heroes are working so hard to keep their communities safe, while healthcare heroes are in hospitals saving lives.
