The BC Cancer Foundation is pleased to announce that more than 60 percent of the 121,000 tickets available for the BC Cancer Foundation Lifestyles Lottery have been sold.
"This is terrific! Over 60 percent of the tickets have been sold. With only one week until the early bird deadline this will be a very busy week. I urge all those who have not yet participated in this year's lottery to act now and get a ticket before the earlybird deadline," says Mary McNeil, president & CEO of the BC Cancer Foundation.
Proceeds – expected to exceed $4 million - will go to the BC Cancer Foundation to support research at the BC Cancer Agency, the cancer control body for British Columbia. BC Cancer Agency scientists are working towards new discoveries that will help us unlock the mysteries of cancer. The BC Cancer Agency delivers care through a number of programs and centres throughout the province, including centres in Vancouver, Vancouver Island, the Southern Interior and Fraser Valley.
The Grand Prize Lifestyle Showcase is worth over $2.8 million. One lucky winner will receive a fully furnished, 7,610 sq. ft. showhome in Vancouver. This package comes complete with a 2004 BMW X5 and $25,000 cash.
Tickets are available at outlets listed on the back of the lottery brochure, at the Grand Prize Showhome, or by calling toll-free 1.877.510.8511. If all tickets are sold before Early Bird cut-off, Midnight, October 16, then all 6,055 prizes will be drawn October 30, 2003. Final cut-off is November 6, 2003 and final draw date is November 20, 2003.
