March 19 Early Bird Deadline Approaching for Edmonton Dream Home Lottery Supporting Children & Youth

Plus, an amazing Grand Prize Dream Home & MORE PRIZES!

Edmonton, Alberta, March 18, 2026 — Edmonton Dream Home Lottery Helps Build Brighter Futures for Local Youth

Buying a dream home lottery ticket could change more than one life…but time is running out to get in early.

The Dream Home Lottery from BGC Big Brothers Big Sisters of Edmonton & Area gives Albertans the chance to win an incredible prize package while supporting life-changing mentoring and after school programs for children and youth across the region. With the Early Bird deadline on March 19, ticket buyers still have time to enter for additional prizes while helping build brighter futures for local young people.

Each ticket sold helps connect youth with caring mentors and supportive programs designed to build confidence, strengthen relationships, and open doors to new opportunities.

For supporters, it’s an opportunity to dream big while making a meaningful impact close to home.

Buy your Dream Home tickets online at bigbrothersdreamhome.org or by calling toll free 1-877-483-8832.


A Dream Home With a Purpose

The Dream Home Lottery showcases a beautifully designed home featuring modern finishes, thoughtful design, and spaces built for comfort and connection. From welcoming living areas to a stylish kitchen and relaxing primary space, the home reflects what many families imagine when they think about their dream home.

But the lottery is about more than the house.

Proceeds from ticket sales help fund mentoring and after school programs that support young people throughout the Edmonton area. These programs provide guidance, encouragement, and positive role models during important stages of a child’s life.

For many youth, having a mentor means having someone who listens, believes in them, and helps them see their potential.

 


The Power of Mentorship

Mentorship can have a lasting impact on a young person’s life. Studies show that youth with mentors are more likely to feel confident, stay engaged in school, and develop stronger social skills.

Through the programs offered by BGC Big Brothers Big Sisters, young people have the opportunity to build trusted relationships that support their personal growth.

 “Soon after I became a mentor, I wish I’d done it sooner. As a Big Sister, trying new things (like snowshoeing) with my Little Sister and gaining her trust are just two of my favourite things. Bird watching became a favourite activity for Safana on our first visit to my favourite bird sanctuary.

It’s so great to see everything new through her eyes. Volunteering one hour a week as a Big Sister continues to be an incredible, rewarding experience.”

– Mary McIntyre, Volunteer Mentor

These relationships often start with something simple — spending time together, sharing experiences, and building trust over time.


Impact That Reaches Across the Community

Every year, mentoring programs supported by the Dream Home Lottery reach thousands of local children and youth.

These programs include:

  • One-to-one mentoring relationships
  • Group mentoring programs in schools and community settings
  • Safe and welcoming club spaces where young people can connect, learn, and grow

 

Community support through the Dream Home Lottery helps ensure these opportunities remain available to the young people who need them most.


Your Chance to Win While Giving Back

In addition to supporting mentoring and after school programs, ticket buyers also have the chance to win incredible prizes.

The Dream Home Lottery includes:

  • A Grand Prize Choice: A $1.1 Million Dream Home or $1 Million cash.
  • Final Early Bird Prize of $46,000 (Deadline Midnight on March 19, 2026)
  • Additional $10,000 Bonus Prize

With draw deadlines approaching, supporters are encouraged to purchase early.


Two Dreams. One Ticket.

For one lucky winner, the Dream Home Lottery could mean the keys to an incredible new home.

For local children and youth, it means access to mentorship, safe spaces, support, and opportunities that help shape a brighter future.

If you would have asked little sister, Emma*, a year ago what she wanted to be or do for a career when she grew up, she might have told you that she didn’t even want to pursue high school. Since then, her big sister, Ashley, has been supporting and encouraging Emma with her schooling in all the ways she can, which includes taking her on a tour of Grant MacEwan University and has open conversations on their visits about school to get Emma excited and interested in her possibilities of where and what she can do!

*Names changed to protect the privacy of the individual.

Every ticket purchased helps strengthen the community and ensures more young people have someone in their corner.

When you buy a ticket, you help a child.

Support the Opening of the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, March 17, 2026 — Time is ticking down to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation’s 50/50 Lottery Jackpot draw. On March 26, someone is going to take half the prize – could it be you?

The new Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower is scheduled to this year and the upper floors reflect a vision of health care built not only for today’s patients but for generations to come. Levels 7 through 10 bring together dedicated inpatient units that support healing, teaching, and the delivery of highly specialized care for patients across British Columbia.

Level 7 will be home to Internal Medicine and the Clinical Teaching Unit, where teams care for patients with complex medical needs while training the next generation of physicians. On Level 8, Vascular Surgery and Medicine will come together in a modern environment designed to support recovery. Level 9 will house Royal Columbian’s Neurosciences Unit, caring for patients experiencing stroke, brain and spine injuries, and other neurological conditions. And on Level 10, the Trauma and Orthopedics Units will support individuals recovering from serious injuries, fractures, and orthopedic surgeries.

Across all four floors, private rooms, improved infection control, enhanced monitoring, and quieter, more welcoming environments create space for rest, dignity, and family support.

Help Make Care at RCH Even Better

When you play, you’re not just chasing cash. You’re also standing behind Royal Columbian’s doctors, nurses, and patients as we prepare to transform care for generations with the opening in 2026 of the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower.

SASKATOON, SK, March 16, 2026 — Purchase your tickets NOW for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation 50/50 and help support Saskatchewan children, moms-to-be and families across the province.

You could WIN BIG while helping our province’s kids and families get the best care possible.

Deadline to Buy Tickets: April 24, 2026 at 3:30 p.m.

Your 50/50 purchase helps Saskatchewan kids like Isabel!

When Isabel’s femur suddenly broke shortly after birth, her family from Yorkton, Sask., knew something wasn’t right. Isabel spent a month in the NICU while specialists worked to determine the cause of her broken bone and low muscle tone. Test results later confirmed she had spinal muscular atrophy.

When JPCH opened in 2019, the family moved to Saskatoon to be closer to the specialized care Isabel requires.

Isabel is a regular patient at JPCH. She is followed by the feeding tube team for her G-tube, has undergone numerous X-rays and receives physiotherapy, speech and occupational therapy, along with support from a social worker.

“Our experience at JPCH has been incredible. I could not imagine the stays and treatments in a hospital that is not geared towards kids. It has made all the difference in our stays and visits there,” said Marjorie, Isabel’s mom.
