ONTARIO – Split the Pot Lottery has seen another winner as the most recent grand prize payout in June climbed to $1.1 million.
Stephen T. from Kirkfield was one of 13 grand prize winners in June and took home $114,949.
“We’ve been using the hospital since we moved here in 2012. If you’re going to support your hospital, everyone wins. You or someone you love will always need its services,” Stephen stated in a press release.
Lottery officials say there are “new and exciting ways” players can win during this Split the Pot Lottery program:
– additional early bird prizes with not one but two draws every week (deadlines are every Tuesday and Wednesday);
– more early bird winners, with eight weekly winners sharing a total of $17,000 in early rewards; and
– a new Win More Bonus offers players 11 additional chances to win after ticket sales close.
Split the Pot Lottery allows players to win big while empowering them to choose how they support advances in hospital health care, officials stated.
They added that participating in Ontario’s largest partnered fundraising initiative significantly impacts vital healthcare initiatives in communities across the province.
“When you play Split the Pot Lottery, every ticket helps Ontario hospitals provide the tools and services they need to provide the best care,” stated Paul McIntyre Royston, president and CEO of Grand River Hospital Foundation.
“Supporters have the chance to win potentially life-changing prizes and make a big difference in everyone’s care.”
Proceeds from every ticket purchased go directly to partnering hospitals through their foundations, including the Groves Hospital Foundation.
