Launched: Alberta cancer programs-backing lottery under a fresh moniker
The Alberta Cancer Foundation Lottery, formerly known as the Cash & Cars Lottery, is back and bigger than ever, offering over 1,000 prizes worth more than $3.6 million in total[1][2]. This year's grand prize presents three multimillion-dollar options for the lucky winner to choose from[1][2]:
- A $2.8 million dream villa in Calgary's West District area
- $2.25 million in cold, hard cash
- An Edmonton home package valued up to $2.5 million, including $1.25 million cash and a custom $1.25 million home[1][2]
But the Alberta Cancer Foundation Lottery is more than just a chance to win big. It's an opportunity to show your support and hope for the future of cancer care in Alberta. As Ryan Kelly, the foundation's vice-president of communications, stated, "Buying a ticket for the raffle allows individuals to make a difference and contribute to the fight against cancer"[3].
The lottery, which was filed by Evan Klippenstein from News Edmonton, supports cancer programs across Alberta, funding patient financial assistance, clinical trials, treatment programs, and ongoing research towards cancer cures in the province[1][2].
The deadline to purchase tickets is fast approaching, with sales ending on October 16, 2025[3][4]. Tickets went on sale starting August 12, 2025[3][4].
In addition to the grand prize, there is a loyalty prize with three options: a 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands worth about $59,239, a $50,000 luxury shopping spree package, or $40,000 in cold, hard cash[5].
The funds raised from ticket purchases are explicitly directed towards cancer research, essential cancer treatment programs, patient financial assistance, and clinical trials and enhanced care throughout Alberta[1][2]. This means that purchasing a ticket not only offers a chance to win substantial prizes but also directly contributes to supporting cancer patients and advancing cancer treatments in Alberta.
The winners of the raffle will be drawn on September 9[1][2]. With so much at stake, don't miss out on your chance to make a difference and potentially win big. Buy your tickets today!
