Hospitals of Regina Foundation launches fall home lottery

The Hospitals of Regina Foundation launched its 30th anniversary home lottery in support of its Trauma Care Campaign Tuesday.

The grand prize is a fully-furnished and professionally-decorated $1.1 million home located in The Creeks.

The 3,400 square-foot, rustic style house has wooden features with high ceilings, soapstone kitchen counter tops, and a “sports lovers'” basement that’s complete with four large-screen televisions, a ping-pong table and a mini-bar.

Proceeds raised in ticket sales will go towards trauma-care services at Regina’s Pasqua Hospital, General Hospital and Wascana Rehab. Specifically, the funds will help provide new equipment for emergency rooms and critical care units.

Dr. David McCutcheon, vice-president of Physician and Integrated Health Services with RQHR, said having new medical tools is crucial for the well-being of those in southern Saskatchewan.

“It’s extremely important because it saves lives, but it’s also extremely important because it gives the community a sense of security, knowing that they have the best possible treatments available,” he said.

Earlybird prizes include a trip to Tahiti and a $630,000 cottage at Katepwa Lake, along with other exotic vacations and brand new vehicles.

Single tickets are $100, three-packs are $250, five-packs are $375 and “super packs” are $500.

The grand prize home is open for viewing starting Saturday.
