Millionaire Lottery begins October 20

It was Elsa Alejandrino’s lucky day.

After years of purchasing Hometown Heroes lottery tickets, she was surprised to find herself on the phone confirming her winning ticket for this year’s $2 million grand prize. Elsa, a nurse and part of our Vancouver Coastal Health team, is ecstatic to be this year’s winner and wants others to know that it can happen to anyone.

Our lotteries not only give people a chance to win; they also raise funds to purchase critically needed medical equipment for Vancouver General Hospital, UBC Hospital and our GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre. To date, we have raised more than $55 million and every dollar helps fund what’s needed to save lives and ensure the best health care for British Columbians.
