Charity lotteries

Have you ever purchased a charity lottery ticket. Many hospitals in my area use them to raise money. I have purchased tickets in the past for the Princess Margaret Cash, Cars and Condos lottery and a few others. This year I purchased a ticket for the Sick Kids Hospital lottery www.SickKidsLottery.ca. I haven't won anything from them, but the point (other then winning) is to help a great hospital raise money. Don't get me wrong - winning would be great, but this way I feel like I am at least helping a little.

Do the hospitals in your area do fundraisers like this?

We have bought the ones for St Margarets, Sick Kids and Mcmaster Dreams and Miracle, usually Sick Kids as I pass it on my way home and they remind me

It's a popular way to fundraise for our 2 largest teaching hospitals in my City. I haven't bought any tickets to any of them though.

The prizes here range from cash to large scale new houses in upper class areas of the city.

Same with the ones near Ady and I, they range from houses in the city to Muskoka cottages a lot of cars and cash

I have never bought tickets for them because they are too expensive. Once I have a job that pays good though I probably will.

I jsut got my ticket for the Sick Kids one in the mail!!!

I like the fact now they let you choose the car or the cash (supposing you win)
