Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation (CKHAF) has announced the launch of its Igniting Healthcare Spring 50/50 lottery.
"We are so excited to kick off another 50/50 campaign," said Christine Mitchell, President and CEO of CKHAF. "These lotteries are such a fun way to rally our community and give back to our hospital - and of course, we absolutely love getting to call up lucky winners and share the amazing news with them. We're so grateful for the generosity we continue to see from across Chatham-Kent and beyond."
Mitchell added that it's support for fundraisers like the 50/50 lottery that makes a real difference for local healthcare. The proceeds from the fundraiser go toward the Highest Priority Needs of Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA).
Most recently, this fund helped purchase a new Fluoroscopy machine for CKHA, contributing the final balance needed after a three-month campaign raised $584,210 toward the $1 million piece of equipment.
Last year's winner of the Spring 50/50, Jason Howes, took home $74,690.
The 2025 edition of the lottery features $9,000 in early bird prizes, including $1,000 weekly draws every Thursday from May 8 to June 5. A bonus $4,000 draw will take place on Tuesday, June 10.
The Grand Prize Draw will take place on Thursday, June 12, with ticket sales closing at noon that day.
Tickets can be purchased as of May 1 at 9 a.m.
In-person sales are available at CKHAF's Chatham office (9 Ursuline Ave), Monday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and from the Wallaceburg office (325 Margaret Ave) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Wednesday throughout the campaign. Online purchases can be made here.
