Take a Virtual Tour of the 2020 VGH Millionaire Lottery Homes


VGH Millionaire Lottery spokesperson Todd Talbot shows off the elevator (!!) in the 2020 South Surrey Grand Prize home, part of a $3.1 million package.

VANCOUVER, BC, Friday, October 23, 2020 — If you want to see this year’s VGH Millionaire Lottery homes, you can do so from the comfort of your couch!

Take a Virtual Tour and browse the Photo Galleries online at millionairelottery.com – or let Todd Talbot take you on a video tour of the homes in Kelowna (Kestrel Ridge), Courtenay (Crown Isle), Abbotsford and South Surrey.

“The seven Grand Prize home packages are more spectacular than ever before!” says Talbot, who is back as the lottery’s official spokesperson. “One of the Grand Prizes includes a 6,453 sq. ft. state-of-the-art home located in South Surrey, and it is valued at over $3.1 million.

“It has six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a two-bedroom suite, three-car garage, RV parking, and a glass elevator.”

This year’s Millionaire Lottery offers over 3,100 prizes to win, worth over $4.2 million, including three Bonus Draws, 76 Early Bird draws (worth over $240,000), and of course the Grand Prize Draw – the winner will choose from one of seven home packages (the largest is worth over $3.1 million) or take $2.7 million tax free cash.

You could become a multi-Millionaire. You just need a ticket to win it!

Plus, if you get your Daily Cash PLUS tickets, you’ll be entered into 209 draws in 105 straight days of winning – with $300,000 in extra cash prizes to win. And, if you get your 50/50 PLUS tickets, you’ll be entered to win half this winter’s biggest jackpot – last year’s reached $1,715,925 and this year’s could be even bigger! The max jackpot is $2.28 milion.

Best of all, when you get your tickets, you’re supporting life-saving, life-changing care at British Columbia’s largest hospital.

“During this global pandemic, there has never been a better time to support the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation,” says Talbot.

“Everyday medical needs didn’t stop when COVID-19 hit,” said Angela Chapman, President and CEO, VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation. “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.

“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 all need VGH, and VGH needs you.

Promote safety and child literacy while trying your hand at winning $10,000!

VANCOUVER, BC, October 21, 2020 — Independent bookstore Massy Books returns with their annual fundraiser for Battered Women’s Support Services (BWSS) and Writers’ Exchange (WE), offering the chance to win up to $10,000! This 50/50 fundraiser has reasonable ticket prices and 100% of proceeds raised go to BWSS and WE, making supporting these two crucial organizations easy. Ticket bundle options allow you to increase your chances of winning, right in time for Christmas! Open to residents of British Columbia, 50% of proceeds go to a lucky winner (could it be you?), while the other 50% go directly into supporting victims of abuse and children’s literacy programs.

The Battered Women’s Support Services (BWSS) provides support to women experiencing gender-based violence, and their services are more important than ever during COVID-19 with increased stress and isolation resulting in increases in domestic abuse. BWSS run a crisis-line, counselling, victim services, legal advocacy, violence prevention, intervention volunteer training, and specific programs for Indigenous, Black, and Latin women.

The Writer’s Exchange in Vancouver provides literacy programs to over 700 kids every year, boosting their reading, writing and self-confidence. They help children get excited about their own potential through creative literacy programs including after-school and in-school programs. Their exciting projects build skills in social and dynamic ways, helping the upcoming generation become inspired and equipped to create meaningful change. During Covid-19, it’s important we put extra resources into supporting children’s emotional, social, and educational development. Every ticket purchase ensures we are doing just that.

Each of these registered Canadian charities work tirelessly with specific members of our communities and their work is unparalleled. Massy Books runs this fundraiser donating administrative and associated costs, with all raised proceeds going back into the community. Your ticket purchase enables BWSS to keep its crisis-line open, often the first point of contact for many women experiencing abuse. Your ticket purchase helps bring supplies into underfunded schools and after-school programs, giving kids the tools to share their imagination through writing.
