Grand Prize Draw Happen March 26, 2026

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, March 3, 2026 — While you’re waiting for Spring to finally arrive, bring a bit of sunshine to your day with the possibility of a major jackpot win. Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation’s 50/50 lottery has just opened additional chances to win with weekly $1,000 prize draws in the lead up to the grand prize draw on March 26.

All ticket revenue helps Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation support the growth of RCH. Later this year, the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower will open and will almost double the square footage of the hospital. That means up to 11,000 more patients a year, performing 30% more surgeries, and expanding the Emergency Department into five unique treatment zones.

 

Patients who find themselves at Royal Columbian Hospital are often the most critically ill and injured, needing the Level 1 trauma services that RCH is known for. With your help, Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation can provide the new equipment, technology, and training the teams need.

VANCOUVER, BC, February 28, 2026 — The jackpot is growing, get your St. Paul’s Foundation 50/50 raffle tickets now. 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 across BC.

In many cases, hospital visits are often unplanned and hurried. When patients call 911 for help, they may not have time to collect or remember what they need. Simple items such as reading glasses can often be left behind, and many patients are unable to retrieve them.

Because of raffle supporters like you, St. Paul’s Hospital has over two dozen pairs of reading glasses that patients can borrow, which have been sanitized and reused countless times.

When patients receive the gift of sight, their care is enhanced by being able to read education materials, dietary menus, and medical forms.

“A gentleman was trying to fill out his government disability forms but couldn’t see the papers. He came to the nursing station to try and get more light to see better. I offered him reading glasses. His eyes filled with tears,” says Carrie Bancroft, clinical nurse leader in the cardiac unit. “He was so surprised that he could now see the words and had no problem filling out the form. He was proud and happy when I showed him how they looked on him. Our team cannot thank you enough for giving the patients of St. Paul’s Hospital these types of precious gifts.”

With your participation in our raffle, patients can read again and regain a sense of independence. Plus, your gift helps to reduce unnecessary stress and anxiety for patients around British Columbia.

Buy your tickets now and give the gift of sight!

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 best value and greatest chance to win)
