Feb 20, 2020 | 3:22 PM

The Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre (CACAC) is once again holding one of their biggest fundraisers of the year, and there’s just two weeks left to get in on it.

Their 50/50 draw has a guaranteed prize of $80,000, and the hope is sell all remaining tickets which would see the winner a cool $200,000.

Wednesday will be the CACAC’s “One Day Challenge” where they will try and sell 865 ticket packages, representing one package for one child the centre has helped in their first two years since they opened.

Mark Jones, CEO of CACAC says the money raised will continue to fund the programming and education at the centre.

“You’re always hoping to sell it out, the goal at the end of the day is to have a happy winner for the lottery but we’ll also be happy to be able to have some money in our coffers to do some good things for kids. We’re just hoping that Central Alberta gets behind not just the one day challenge, but along everything else.”

Jones also says he hopes that people will jump on early.

“Everything in the lottery world is tight money, but everybody is a last minute player. We’re hoping to see significant purchases over the final two weeks.”
