LONDON, Ont. – The time to do that last minute shopping is now – Dream Lottery’s final sales deadline is just over a week away at midnight on Thursday, December 15 – and a ticket could turn someone into a millionaire in the New Year. Just think, with a Dream Lottery ticket it’s easy to fit the chance at a spectacular $1.3 million grand prize home package that includes a Mercedes-Benz (or the $1 million in cash option) under a Christmas tree.
The home has a London Knights-themed indoor rink in the basement and the stamp of approval from TV-star and contractor Mike Holmes. If that’s not enough to consider, there are lots of other reasons to get a ticket for oneself or for that hard to buy for special someone. A ticket will stuff a stocking full of chances to win cars-or-cash, vacations-or-cash, London Knights jerseys and tickets, and lots of other prizes too.
There’s also another ticket to top off the gift pile. The 50/50 PlusTM is now at more than $825,000 and growing daily. One lucky winner will walk away with half. A Dream Lottery ticket must be purchased in order to also purchase 50/50 PlusTM tickets.
Ticket prices are 2/$50, 6/$100, 16/$250, and 35/$500. For the 35-pack, the cost works out to less than $15 per ticket. 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. 50/50 PlusTM tickets are 2/$15, 6/$30, 20/$60 and can be ordered at the time a Dream Lottery ticket is purchased. After buying a Dream Lottery ticket, 50/50 PlusTM tickets can also be ordered by phone at 519-488-7100.
Next Thursday (December 15) is also the last chance to tour the Dream home. After the final deadline the home will be closed.
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, helping these hospitals care for patients from across Southwestern Ontario and beyond.
