After organizers took a year off due to the pandemic, the Red Deer Kinsmen Dream Home Lottery is back.

For 40 years, the lottery has been a cornerstone of the group’s contributions to the community. The Kinsmen have distributed money to many new playgrounds and sporting facilities, among other things.

This year’s edition will look a bit different with more prizes and chances to win.

There 104 prizes valued at over $864,700; including the grand prize, a fully furnished, fully landscaped show home in the new community of Timberlands.

The $744,000, 2,368 sq. ft. dream home, built by True-Line Homes features three bedrooms, three bathrooms plus den, a fully upgraded kitchen with premium appliances, Quartz Island, and walk-in pantry.

Supporters can buy tickets early for a chance at not one, but two early bird cash prizes. Deadline for early bird #1 – $10,000 cash is 11:59 p.m. Nov. 11. Deadline for early bird #2 – $25,000 cash is 11:59 p.m. Dec. 2.

Other prizes include vacations, home renovation packages, exercise equipment, tech, electronics, cash and much more. Tickets are $100 each, 5 for $150, 15 for $250 or our best package 50 for $350. They can be purchased online at reddeerkinsmenlottery.com or by calling 1.833.511.3863 and leaving a message. The lottery is presented by Kinsmen Club of Red Deer.
