Split the Pot fundraiser to help dozens of Alta. hospitals [Video]

Dozens of Alberta hospitals are set to benefit from a fundraiser that will also share a cash prize with multiple lucky winners.

It’s the second time the Split the Pot Lottery will run in Alberta and organizers hope to build on the success of last year’s event.

“Ticket sales exceeded $597,000, 50 per cent of which was split among the 13 lucky grand prize winners – with over $50,000 awarded to 10 early bird winners,” officials said in a news release.

“Of course, the hospital and healthcare foundations shared in the lottery’s big wins – they received the crucial funding they need to continue providing their patients and communities with the best care possible.”
