'Help change the life of an animal in need:' BC SPCA lottery returns with $1M prize pot

The BC SPCA’s lottery for animals in need has returned.

This year’s total prize pot is up to $1 million, the charity said.

The top prize for 50/50 ticket buyers is $500,000.

“The past year and a half has cancelled a lot of fundraising events and brought new challenges to the rescue, care and rehoming of animals in need,” Tess Repenning, a senior manager at the SPCA, said.

“We are so grateful to everyone who purchases tickets – with a prize pot up to $1 million your purchase could change your life and it will definitely help change the life of an animal in need.”

The SPCA said the cash raised from the lottery will go towards helping abused, neglected and injured animals.

The last three SPCA lotteries for animals in need sold out.

“We are so impressed, year after year, at the amazing response,” Repenning said.

“Anyone interested in a chance to win this massive $500,000 prize should act fast – our best ticket packages do not last long.”

Tickets are $15 each, three for $40 or six for $60.

The deadline to buy tickets is September 30.
