You can win a million-dollar showhome while keeping a life-saving service up and running in Saskatchewan.
The annual STARS lottery launched Wednesday, with a goal of supporting operations out of the service’s bases in Regina and Saskatoon.
The lottery raises 50 per cent of STARS’ operational funding, which works out to about $10.5 million in community support annually. The province funds the other half.
This year, there are two grand prize showhomes up for grabs. The $1.6-million Saskatoon home is located in Greenbryre Estates, while the $1.5-million home in the Regina area is located in Pilot Butte.
“With in-person events being an impossibility during the pandemic, it means virtual events like the lottery are more important than ever,” said STARS spokesperson Mark Oddan.
