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

KELOWNA, BC, August 3, 2026 — What better way to celebrate B.C. Day than with the return of the Southern Interior’s biggest 50/50! The Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery is back, giving British Columbians the chance to win up to $500,000 while helping to build healthier communities across the heart of BC.

In less than two years, the Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery has sold more than $1.9 million worth of tickets, meaning almost $1 million has gone to improving the health and wellbeing of communities across the region. With the current pot already over $200,000, the stakes are high and the impact even greater.

As the strain on acute health care systems continues to build across the province, the need to support community health programs has never been greater. The Interior Health region serves over 862,000 residents and saw more than 90,000 hospital stays/cases in 2025. Thanks to continued partnerships with health care & hospital foundations across the region, funds stay where tickets are purchased, helping to ensure impact across the entire Southern Interior.

With the deadline to buy tickets coming up on September 4, 2026, 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.

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.

A Small Club, a Big Heart, and a $220,000 Jackpot

RUSSELL, ONTARIO, July 30, 2026 — In a village of a few thousand people just east of Ottawa, a deck of 52 sealed envelopes has quietly become one of Eastern Ontario’s most generous ideas. Every Sunday, volunteers in red Kin Club shirts gather, draw a single ticket, and open one envelope — hoping the Ace of Spades is inside. It usually isn’t. And that is exactly what keeps the story going — every week, the odds of that Ace being found get better, and chance of winning the weekly prize AND the huge jackpot get ever-closer.

The Kin Club of Russell’s Catch the Ace is run entirely by volunteers, and the vast majority of every dollar raised stays close to home — supporting hospitals, food banks, youth programs, mental-health initiatives and dozens of other local causes across Prescott-Russell and the Ottawa region. Across every campaign, the game has now raised more than $7.9 million for the community.

This is the eighth edition of the game, and sixteen weeks in it is following the same happy pattern as the ones before it. The estimated jackpot has climbed to $220,000, with an estimated weekly prize of $11,000 in this Sunday’s draw — and more than $271,000 has already been raised for local charities this round alone.

Why It Works

The quiet magic of Catch the Ace is that everyone wins something. Half of every ticket goes straight to local charities; the rest builds the weekly prize and the ever-growing jackpot. So whether or not your envelope hides the Ace, your $10 is already doing good somewhere close to home.

“Every ticket purchased tells two stories,” said Catch the Ace Chair Doug Anthony. “There’s the excitement of the draw, and there’s the difference those sales make for charities right here in our community.”

The Kin Club of Russell has been supporting Eastern Ontario causes for decades — from CHEO and local hospitals to food banks, Special Olympics and neighbourhood projects. See the charities supported here.

How to Play

Buy a ticket and choose an envelope number from those still in play. If your ticket is drawn, you win that week’s weekly prize. Your chosen envelope is then opened — and if it holds the Ace of Spades, you also take home the progressive jackpot. Each week the Ace stays hidden, another envelope is retired and the odds of finding it get a little better.

Tickets: $10 each, online at russellkincta.ca or at retail locations (Ontario only)
Online ticket deadline: Saturday, August 1 at 10:00 PM ET
Live draw: Sunday, August 2 at 3:15 PM ET

Watch the draw live Sunday at 3:15 PM ET on Facebook — Watch here

The jackpot and weekly prize amounts are estimates from the Kin Club of Russell, based on the best information available at the time of publication.
