The Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery is Back for 2026!

KELOWNA, BC, Friday, January 16, 2026 — Starting 2026 on a high note, the Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery returns for its third iteration with the same mission; to change one lucky winner’s life and build healthier communities throughout the heart of British Columbia.

This past summer, the Heart of BC Lottery surpassed $650,000 in ticket sales, with the lucky winner celebrating a $329,022.50 win. The impact of that impressive jackpot is already being felt, right here at home. Proceeds from the summer draw are now helping fund the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) expand their Foundry services, allowing more youth and families to access the mental health supports they need.

With ticket on sale from now until March 13 at midnight, the Heart of BC invites residents across the British Columbia to take part in an initiative designed to strengthen local communities while offering the chance to win a growing cash prize. Once again partnering with the YMCA of Southern Interior BC and local health foundations across the Interior Health Authority, the proceeds from tickets stay in the communities that they are purchased in, helping community partners deliver essential services where they are needed the most.

Each and every ticket purchased for the Heart of BC 50/50 provides vital funding for proactive, upstream solutions across the entire spectrum of health and wellbeing. Proceeds help keep individuals out of hospitals and urgent care centres through programs such as Sport for Life (funded by the inaugural lottery) which promotes physical literacy in schools and gives students the tools to be physically competent and confidence and understand the value of physical movement.

“The impact of this lottery doesn’t end when we draw the winner,” Chandel Schmidt, VP of Philanthropy for the KGH Foundation says, “We’re thrilled to already be allocating funds to the expansion of CMHA’s Foundry services. The winter iteration of the Heart of BC is about continuing to build on the momentum that we have built in the first year.”

As the Heart of BC 50/50 enters its second year and third iteration, it continues to demonstrate how collective generosity can shape the future of care and support in the region. What begins as a ticket purchase can become expanded access to mental health services, stronger programs, and healthier communities.

Tickets can be purchased at heartofbc.ca.

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.

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.

Support Critical Care at Royal Columbian Hospital

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, January 10, 2026 — Excitement is building in the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation 50/50 Lottery!

The Grand Prize Draw is on January 22, and one lucky winner will walk away with half the pot. With every ticket sold, the prize climbs higher—already reaching life-changing territory. Just picture it: in September, the jackpot reached $179,225, with nearly $90,000 going to the lucky winner. What would a win like that mean for your 2026?

Why your ticket matters: This isn’t just a lottery—it’s about people like Lauren Phillips and her son Wesley. When fetal monitoring revealed subtle dips in Lauren’s baby’s heart rate at 25 weeks, caregivers acted quickly. Wesley was delivered at just 720 grams and rushed to the NICU, where the hospital’s specialized neonatal team provided immediate breathing support and lifesaving care available at only a small number of centres in the province.

Help Make Care at RCH Even Better

Six days later, despite Wesley being intubated and on a jet ventilator, the team helped Lauren hold her son for the first time. Supported by equipment funded through Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, even the smallest and sickest infants can now experience early skin-to-skin moments that strengthen bonding and support development.

Your ticket helps fund the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower, which will introduce 24 private single-family rooms, bringing greater privacy, light, and comfort to families during their hardest days.

Every play matters. Every ticket makes a difference.
