Introducing the 2020 VGH Millionaire Lottery

VANCOUVER, BC, Friday, October 16, 2020 — The Millionaire Lottery is back for 2020 with 8 Grand Prize options – including $2.7 million cash – and incredible homes, cars, travel, gift cards, and over $4.2 million in prizes to win!

Plus, when you get your tickets, you’re raising crucial funds for VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, supporting specialized adult health care and research in Vancouver, at Vancouver General Hospital, UBC Hospital, and GF Strong Rehab Centre.

And during these unprecedented times, your help means more than ever.

“Everyday medical needs didn’t stop when COVID-19 hit. Throughout this pandemic, our researchers and medical teams, who treat patients from across B.C., have done a tremendous job looking after the patients in their care,” said Angela Chapman, President and CEO, VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation.

“Millionaire Lottery funds are as important as ever as we continue to ensure that our world-class health care teams are equipped with the tools and technology they need to provide the best care possible.”

Every year, VGH performs more than 30,000 surgeries and treats more than 600,000 patient visits. VGH treats 60% of British Columbia’s adult trauma cases – and 50% of the hospital’s surgical patients are from outside Vancouver.

Our province’s health care heroes are fighting COVID-19 at VGH.

“On behalf of the Foundation, thank you to everyone who supports the Millionaire Lottery,” Chapman said. “You are vital to helping us transform health care.”

We can all win… Together.
