May 12, 2021 | 11:27 AM

LETHBRIDGE, AB– Helping students rise up has never been easier, and now those who help have the chance to win big.

One lucky person can win some cash on this year’s Ready to Rise 50/50 Lottery, presented by Lethbridge College. Tickets are now available for anyone living in Alberta.

Contributing to the Ready to Rise 50/50 Lottery helps ensure a student’s education will not suffer because of their financial status.

50 per cent of the proceeds from the lottery will contribute to helping the campus community address the most pressing needs of students, while the other 50 per cent will be presented to one lucky winner. Proceeds from the Ready to Rise Fund will go towards supports for college students in the form of student awards, scholarships and bursaries.

“Our students are hardworking, resilient and adaptable,” says Oliver Twizell, Director of Development and Alumni Engagement. “When we ensure they have a financial stability, we put them in a position to focus on their learning, which sets them up for future success. The Ready to Rise Fund provides an opportunity for our community to show its support for students in a meaningful way.”

The winner will receive a minimum cash prize of $4,000 or 50 per cent of ticket sales, depending on which one is greater, with the possibility to win up to $10,000.

A variety of ticket packages are available, beginning at $10 for one ticket, $20 for four tickets, $50 for 20 tickets, or organziers say the best value is, $100 for 100 tickets.

The 50/50 lottery is a chance for college alumni, students, employees and community members to show their support for Lethbridge College and its students.

All Alberta residents who are 18 years of age or older can purchase tickets.

Ticket sales close on May 31, with the draw to be made on June 1. You can purchase your tickets here.https://www2.rafflebox.ca/raffle/lethbridgecollege
