Sault Ste. Marie resident collects CAD 500,000 in 50/50 raffle at Sudbury hospital
The Health Sciences North (HSN) 50/50 lottery is a significant initiative that directly supports healthcare services and research in northeastern Ontario. Launched in June 2020, the lottery has raised over $62 million to date, with more than $22 million going towards healthcare services and research initiatives at HSN and the Health Sciences North Research Institute[1].
The 50/50 lottery operates on the principle of dividing the proceeds equally. Half of the revenue generated goes to the lucky jackpot winner, while the other half is dedicated to funding patient care, medical research, and healthcare transformation across the region[2].
Ticket sales for the August draw are currently open, with sales ending at 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 28. The jackpot-winning ticket for this draw will be drawn on Aug. 29 at 10 a.m., with the jackpot already over $190,000[3]. The August HSN 50/50 draw is live at HSN5050.ca.
Tickets can be purchased online, at the lottery kiosk at HSN on Ramsey Lake Road, or at 22 retail locations in Greater Sudbury. The winner of a backyard spa package will be drawn on Aug. 22.
Funds from ticket purchases have supported various healthcare initiatives, including specialized surgeries and procedures, enhanced care for neonatal patients, cancer research, and treatment improvements[4]. The lottery has also contributed to future capital redevelopment projects, ensuring the continued growth and development of healthcare services in the region.
It's important to note that none of the proceeds from the HSN 50/50 go towards administrative salaries. Instead, they are all invested directly into the healthcare programs, research efforts, and patient-focused initiatives that make a real difference in the lives of those in northeastern Ontario.
