Enhanced Blanche River Health Foundation 50/50: More draws, more tickets, more cash
Launches May 8
The Blanche River Health Foundation is launching a new, improved lottery that now features a monthly Early Bird prize of $250, the usual 50/50 draw, and a new bonus ticket program, announced John Sullivan, Board Chair, Blanche River Health Hospital Foundation.
“We have made these changes based on feedback we have received, and what is popular in other communities that have a hospital lottery,” said Sullivan. “Blanche River Health relies on the generosity of the community to help fund new medical equipment that falls beyond the ongoing funding it receives from the government, so we hope people will respond positively to the changes we have made.”
The enhanced lottery will launch on Monday, May 8 at 10 a.m. Players will have until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 14 (Mother’s Day) to be eligible for the $250 Early Bird draw that will be held on Monday, May 15.
