NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, September 22, 2026 — Excitement is building in the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation 50/50 Lottery!

The Grand Prize Draw is on Sept. 24th, and one lucky winner will walk away with half the pot. With every ticket sold, the prize climbs higher, reaching life-changing territory.

Just picture it: previous jackpots have reached close to $200K, with half going to the lucky winner. What would a win like that mean for your summer?

Why your ticket matters: This isn’t just a lottery — it’s about people like Lauren Phillips and her son Wesley. When fetal monitoring revealed subtle dips in Lauren’s baby’s heart rate at 25 weeks, caregivers acted quickly. Wesley was delivered at just 720 grams and rushed to the NICU, where the hospital’s specialized neonatal team provided immediate breathing support and lifesaving care available at only a small number of centres in the province.

Six days later, despite Wesley being intubated and on a jet ventilator, the team helped Lauren hold her son for the first time. Supported by equipment funded through Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, even the smallest and sickest infants can now experience early skin-to-skin moments that strengthen bonding and support development.

Your ticket helps fund the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower, which has introduced 24 private single-family rooms, bringing greater privacy, light, and comfort to families during their hardest days.

Every play matters. Every ticket makes a difference.
