VANCOUVER, BC, June 17, 2025 — The countdown is on: the RCH 50/50 jackpot draw is just days away.

Ever known someone who rushed to the ER and got help just in time?

Chances are, their life was saved at Royal Columbian Hospital — the busiest trauma hospital in BC, quietly working around the clock for more than a third of the province.

Right now, a brand-new tower is going up — the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower — built to meet the growing need for faster emergency care, more surgeries, and safer spaces for mental health and families. And you can help bring it to life.

How?

By grabbing a 50/50 ticket.

You could win half the jackpot (which is getting very real), and your ticket helps deliver care when people need it most. It’s a small gesture that could mean everything — for someone’s partner, child, or parent.

You’ve got less than two weeks before the draw on June 26.

Do it for BC.
Do it for the chance.
Do it while there’s still time.

Thanks for being part of something powerful.
