BC, March 8, 2018 — Buying a lottery ticket can help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. With the return of the BC SPCA Lottery for animals in need, you can win big by helping abused, neglected and injured animals and potentially, put thousands of extra dollars in your pocket.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2018 BC SPCA Lottery for animals in need, which funds urgently needed medical care, sheltering and spay and neuter services for homeless and abused animals in BC SPCA shelters across the province.

“With 31 cash prizes totalling $100,000 to be won, plus up to $50,000 for one lucky winner in the 50/50 bonus prize draw, there are now more ways than ever to win big and help animals too!” says Carina Stirling, BC SPCA officer of peer-to peer fundraising and lottery. “Last year the 50/50 tickets sold out in less than two weeks, so hurry! You don’t want to miss your chance to win our biggest prize ever! It’s a win-win for animal lovers as well as British Columbia’s most vulnerable animals.”

Sponsored by CTV and TV Week, tickets for the lottery are $30 each or three for $60 and six for $90. Tickets for the 50/50 draw are $10 each, or three for $25 and five for $40. The deadline for the early bird prize of $8,000 is May 1 and the final lottery tickets sales deadline is May 18.
