BC Day Just Got Better: The Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery Is Back

KELOWNA, BC, Friday, August 1, 2025 — In advance of the BC Day long weekend, the KGH Foundation is thrilled to announce the return of the Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery, an exciting opportunity to win up to $500,000 while supporting healthier communities across the Southern Interior of British Columbia. 

After the inaugural jackpot reached a remarkable $361,110, the Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery is back and bigger than ever. With the current pot already over $175,000, the stakes are high and the impact even greater. While half of the jackpot goes straight to one lucky winner, the other half funds vital upstream health care initiatives right here in our communities.

 

New to this iteration of the lottery, the KGH Foundation has partnered with health care foundations throughout the Southern Interior, in addition to the existing partnership with the YMCA of Southern Interior BC, to ensure that funds stay in the communities where tickets were purchased. 

Funds from the first lottery are already making a difference. They have helped Sport for Life expand their Physical Activity and Literacy Program in elementary schools across the region, providing both in-person and online training for educators. Programs like these increase the chances that children will stay active for life and enjoy the mental health benefits that come with regular physical activity. 

Proceeds have also funded the YMCA of Southern Interior BC’s Health Promotion programs dedicated to directly enhancing early intervention and prevention services, focusing on the holistic well-being of individuals in mind, body, and spirit for all ages. 

With the deadline to buy tickets coming up on September 5, 2025, there’s never been a better time to help build healthier communities across the heart of beautiful British Columbia. Don’t miss your chance to win big and make a meaningful difference.

Information about KGH Foundation

Since 1978, the KGH Foundation has worked with a generous community to raise funds to support world-class healthcare close to home for a growing and diverse population in the interior of B.C. Today, the KGH Foundation is the lead fundraising organization for Kelowna General Hospital, JoeAnna’s House, and Central Okanagan Hospice House, while also fundraising for vital community health care programs. 

For full rules and regulations, please visit heartofbc.ca. Tickets can only be purchased and sold in British Columbia. Must be 19+ to play.

One lucky winner will take home half the jackpot, while the other half will go directly toward supporting patients, long-term care residents, and their families with compassionate, comforting care – today, and for years to come.

Keeping Tenants Cool and Hydrated at Honoria Conway

Thanks to raffle supporters like you, access to cooling stations and hydration stations are available—keeping tenants safe and cool during the summer months and protected from conditions such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Help make a big impact to patients, residents, and health care providers across Providence Health Care. Buy your tickets today.

Help Make Kids Mighty

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.
