KELOWNA, BC, February 14, 2025 — This Valentine’s Day, the KGH Foundation launches the first-ever Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery with a mission that’s straight from the heart, strengthening health and well-being in the communities we love right here in the southern interior of BC. With a jackpot that could grow to $600,000 (it’s already over $100,000!), one lucky winner will take home a life-changing half of the pot, while the other half will help fund proactive health initiatives in the Central Okanagan and surrounding communities.
“The Heart of BC 50/50 lottery isn’t just about winning—it’s about looking after the people we love,” says Allison Young, CEO of the KGH Foundation. “Every ticket helps fund life-changing, preventative health programs that keep our families, friends, and neighbors healthy, out of the hospital, and thriving right here at home.”
A Valentine’s tradition in the making, the Heart of BC 50/50 lottery is an evolution of the former Lake Life Lottery, now streamlined into an all-cash format. The new format maintains the spirit of the original lottery’s commitment ensure all proceeds stay in the BC Interior to fund lifesaving treatments, mental health services, and preventative health programs through the KGH Foundation and YMCA of Southern Interior BC.
“The YMCA and KGH Foundation share a deep commitment to building healthier communities,” adds Allyson Graf, CEO of the YMCA of Southern Interior BC. ““This 50/50 is a unique way to give back, ensuring families across the Southern Interior have access to the care they need before reaching the point of crisis.”
With the final deadline on March 14, 2025, there’s never been a sweeter time to take a chance on love—and a life-changing jackpot. Your ticket will help keep innovative, community-focused solutions closer to home.
