In spring 2022, Misericordia Health Centre Foundation and the Winnipeg Humane Society partnered, launching One Great Lottery and the overwhelming success of this initiative underscored the power of unity in achieving charitable goals! With countless worthy causes across Manitoba’s philanthropic landscape, now is the moment to expand the program’s reach and impact. Introducing the NEW One Great Lottery. It’s not just a lottery, it’s a movement.
28 charities across Manitoba have joined forces to launch this first-of-its-kind lottery, offering their supporters a brand-new opportunity to WIN BIG! Guaranteeing a $100,000 jackpot and an additional $15,000 in Early Bird prizing, One Great Lottery will provide players more chances to win while making a significant difference to participating Manitoba charities.
“We are excited to partner with so many Manitoba organizations that have an incredible daily impact on our community. By joining forces, we are proving that when we come together, the capacity to create positive change and celebrate big wins is limitless."
- Jessica Miller, Chief Executive Officer, Winnipeg Humane Society.
“It’s truly an honour to be amongst these incredible and very deserving charitable organizations. Manitoba will be stronger because of the direct impact this lottery will have on each of our individual and collective missions. Thank you to everyone who is able to support One Great Lottery, the 28 charities – and the thousands of Manitobans – who will benefit from every ticket purchased.”
- Kris Gladwell, President & CEO, Misericordia Health Centre Foundation
