A news release issued today by the SAHF states that new draw features include the 'win your way' calendar which provides supporters with an additional 93 chances to win.

Proceeds from the SAHF 50/50 draw goes towards the purchase of new medical equipment for the hospital, which costs on average $5 million per year.

Full text of the news release follows:

The biggest 50/50 in the Algoma District just got a little bigger.

The new Sault Area Hospital Foundation (SAHF) 50/50 has launched with a new website, new bonus prize, and a new calendar add-on draw! All proceeds from this draw continue to support same amazing cause – helping Sault Area Hospital Foundation purchase the medical equipment our hospital needs to deliver care close to home.   

Tickets are available now for the growing grand prize jackpot – and this month’s SAHF 50/50 winner will also receive a bonus prize, the choice between a $30,000 NorthShore Sports and Auto gift certificate or $20,000 cash! Use the gift certificate to get a new boat, ATV, or Skidoo, or take the cash option and add $20,000 to your jackpot… the choice is yours!  

Also new this month, for the first time ever, the 'win your way' calendar will give winners an additional 93 chances to win, with three winners every day during the month of March!

"We’ve been thinking about what comes next for our monthly draw for a while now,” said Teresa Martone, Sault Area Hospital Foundation executive director. “We surveyed our buyers, researched other draws, and the new SAHF 50/50 is the result. We’ve added an exciting northern Ontario-focused bonus prize to complement our life-changing grand prize. For those that want more chances to win, we’ve added the 'win your way calendar. These changes give our supporters access to new prizes, and will help SAHF continue to raise the millions of dollars needed to purchase critical medical equipment for our community hospital. That’s why we do this.”

The needs at Sault Area Hospital (SAH) are significant – an average of $5 million in medical equipment needs to be purchased each year to keep our hospital up-to-date. The funds raised by SAHF 50/50 give local healthcare providers the tools they need to care for patients at SAH, reducing travel, keeping patients closer to home and offering life-saving care in the most urgent situations.

Each chance to win big starts online (tickets available online only). 50/50 ticket options include 10 tickets for $10, 60 tickets for $20, 200 tickets for $40 or 750 for $75. Calendar ticket options include 40 tickets for $10, 100 tickets for $20 and 250 tickets for $40. Calendar tickets must be purchased in conjunction with 50/50 tickets. Ticket buyers must be 18 years of age or older and in the province of Ontario to play.

Don’t forget, early ticket buyers get an extra chance to win with the continuation of the $10,000 early bird draw. Deadline to purchase for the early bird draw this month is midnight on Feb. 10.

SAHF 50/50 has been running since November of 2019. In that time, SAHF has given away over $4.3 million in prizes, and has raised millions more to support local care. On behalf of the entire community, thank you to all who continue to support. When our hospital purchases equipment like this, we all win.
