London, Ont. - Dream lottery is breaking away from the crowd this fall with a spectacular grand prize home that boasts an indoor rink, a Mercedes-Benz in the driveway and the stamp of approval from TV-star and contractor Mike Holmes. The rink, which is part of a unique, London-Knight-themed basement level, can be retrofitted into a skateable hockey rink with the installation of synthetic ice.
“Dream Lottery supporters can score big with this Dream Home and the other amazing prizes, including the 50/50 draw, but their support of local and regional healthcare counts the most,” says John MacFarlane, President and CEO, London Health Sciences Foundation.
This year’s Dream Home builder, Wastell Homes, has built prize homes for previous lotteries and was recently made a “Holmes Approved Homes” builder. The public can check out this amazing home daily from noon to 5 p.m. seven days a week including holidays. The home is located in London near Sunningdale Rd. and Richmond St. at 2337 Humberside Common.
The home will close at the final sales deadline - or earlier if all available Dream Lottery tickets sell out.
In addition to a list of secondary prizes that includes cars-or-cash and trips-or-cash, the lottery also boasts a Loyalty Draw, VIP Draw, Bonus Draw, and Early Bird Draws with a prize-per-day in January and February. Ticket purchasers can also win packages of two London Knights tickets and two autographed London Knights jerseys each day in March. There are several deadlines for those early draws, starting October 20.
Tickets can be purchased at participating Shoppers Drug Mart locations, at the Dream home, online at www.dreamitwinit.ca or by calling 519-488-7100.
The 50/50 PlusTM draw is back again with a guaranteed minimum of $250,000 and no maximum. In the spring draw, the prize pool reached a record $951,870. A Dream Lottery ticket must be purchased in order to also purchase 50/50 PlusTM tickets.
Final ticket sales deadline for both Dream Lottery and 50/50 PlusTM is Thursday, December 15.
Ticket sales are a big assist for London Hospitals. Dream Lottery has raised more than $28.2 million (net) since 1996 in support of Children’s Hospital at London Health Sciences Centre, St. Joseph’s Health Care London, and London Health Sciences Centre.
"Investing in a Dream Lottery ticket helps our hospitals support advanced technology, equipment, training and research to ensure our region’s children and families receive the best possible care," says Sherri Bocchini, Chief Development Officer, Children’s Health Foundation.
