NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, January 2, 2026 — Congratulations to the very first weekly prize winner of the year, who just walked away with $1,000 cash!
And while one ticket holder is already celebrating, the excitement is just beginning. The 50/50 jackpot is climbing daily, and on January 22, one lucky player will take home half the pot.
In September, the jackpot reached $179,225, with nearly $90,000 going to the winner. This winter’s total could be even bigger.
Best of all, every ticket supports the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower at Royal Columbian Hospital, expanding lifesaving care for patients across B.C.
Help Make Care at RCH Even Better
When you buy a ticket for Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation’s 50/50 Lottery, you’re helping to bring the best equipment, latest technology, and advanced patient care to the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower, a facility that will nearly double capacity and expand care for patients across BC when it opens in 2026.
