Ticket sales strong for Red Deer Kinsmen Dream Home Lottery

Oct 28, 2017 | 5:57 PM

Ticket sales are going strong in this year’s Red Deer Kinsmen Dream Home Lottery.

That according to lottery Service Director Mark Horsley, who says all the money raised stays right here in our community.

“We started selling tickets Thanksgiving weekend, so it’s just been a few weeks now that we’ve been going here. I think we’re on pace, similar to last year which is a good sign because last year was a good year,” said Horsley.

“I believe last year we raised somewhere between $100,000 to $200,000 that went right back into the community, so if we could match last year, that would be phenomenal,” added Horsley.

 

Prizes in this year’s lottery include the Grand Prize Larkaun Homes Dream Home at 98 Longmire Close in Laredo valued at $749,750 and the Runner-Up prize of a 2017 Ford Edge SEL AWD.

Loyalty Draw prizes include a pair of 2017-2018 Red Deer Rebels Seasons tickets, a Collicutt Leisure Centre Family Pass and Edmonton Oilers Date Night which includes dinner before the game, tickets and an overnight stay in Edmonton.

The Early Bird prize is a Trip for 4 to Puerto Vallarta.

Other prizes include a Polaris RZR 170 EFI, Groceries for a Year sponsored by Eastview IGA, a Private Dinner Party supplied by the Red Deer and District Food Bank, Three-day Golf Trip to Invermere, B.C., Furntiture Package supplied by Red Deer Lighting and Home Furnishings, His and Hers Movado Esperanza Watches and a Three-Day Salmon Fishing Adventure on Vancouver Island.  

Salesman Daryl Puzey of builder Larkaun Homes, says the house is an open concept design with 18 foot vaulted ceilings over the entry-way, as well as over the living room.

“As a builder, as a business in the community, to help put back into the community to different causes that stay right in the community, it gives us our chance to expose our brand to the citizens of Red Deer but at the same point, be part of that building the community up through such a great charity like the Kinsmen,” he says.

Money raised from this year’s lottery will be used to support playgrounds, arenas, Discovery Canyon, Library Link or the new Family Link Centre at the Parkland Mall among others.

Dream Home tickets are $100 each or you can buy three for $250 or five for $375.

50/50 tickets are $10 each or four for $25 or 10 for $50.

The Lottery Draw cut-off is October 29 at 11:59 p.m., Early Bird cut-off November 26, Dream Home Lottery Grand Prize Draw cut-off December 31 and 50/50 Grand Prize Draw cut-off December 31.
