KELOWNA, BC, Friday, August 1, 2025 — In advance of the BC Day long weekend, the KGH Foundation is thrilled to announce the return of the Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery, an exciting opportunity to win up to $500,000 while supporting healthier communities across the Southern Interior of British Columbia. 

After the inaugural jackpot reached a remarkable $361,110, the Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery is back and bigger than ever. With the current pot already over $175,000, the stakes are high and the impact even greater.

New to this iteration of the lottery, the KGH Foundation has partnered with health care foundations throughout the Southern Interior, in addition to the existing partnership with the YMCA of Southern Interior BC, to ensure that funds stay in the communities where tickets were purchased.

Programs like these increase the chances that children will stay active for life and enjoy the mental health benefits that come with regular physical activity. 

Proceeds have also funded the YMCA of Southern Interior BC’s Health Promotion programs dedicated to directly enhancing early intervention and prevention services, focusing on the holistic well-being of individuals in mind, body, and spirit for all ages.
