Monthly Lottery
The BUH Foundation began the Monthly Lottery (formerly known as the 50/50 Lottery) in 1993. In its inception, the Lottery was open only to Hospital staff and since has grown to include the general public.
The Lottery coincides with our fiscal year, running from April 1 st to March 31st, with tickets going on sale, beginning the last week of February.
The 13 monthly draws are made on the last Wednesday of every month at Battlefords Union Hospital. The winners are contacted by phone and are published in the Friday News-Optimist (sponsored by Battlefords Publishing), the Foundation web page, as well as posted within the Hospital.
